==Background==

There are three known classes of destroyers: the {{Pattern|Sinaris|heavy destroyer}}, the {{Pattern|Wik|light destroyer}}, and the [[~~Rasus~~-~~pattern interdictor|~~super-destroyer]]. ''CPV''-class destroyers were seen in various battles early in the [[Human-Covenant War]],<ref>''Halo Wars''</ref><ref>''Halo Wars: Genesis''</ref> while a slightly smaller ''RPV''-class destroyer was present during the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]] in [[2552#July|July 2552]].{{Ref/Reuse|FoR}}

There are three known classes of destroyers: the {{Pattern|Sinaris|heavy destroyer}}, the {{Pattern|Wik|light destroyer}}, and an unidentified classification of which only one example is known, represented by the ''[[Defender of Faith]]''. An additional so-called "super-destroyer" has been referenced by [[United Nations Space Command]] personnel in naval warfare, though this is an informal term used to describe the {{Pattern|Rasus|interdictor}}. ''CPV''-class destroyers were seen in various battles early in the [[Human-Covenant War]],<ref>''Halo Wars''</ref><ref>''Halo Wars: Genesis''</ref> while a slightly smaller ''RPV''-class destroyer was present during the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]] in [[2552#July|July 2552]].{{Ref/Reuse|FoR}}

In general, Covenant destroyers are very well-armed, boasting multiple point-defense [[pulse laser turret]]s, [[plasma turret]]s, [[energy projector]]s, and a full complement of [[Seraph]] fighters. The destroyer's weapons are so potent that [[UNSC Navy]] [[Captain (NAVCOM)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] remarked that they turned UNSC ships into "Swiss cheese" in many engagements.<ref>'''''Halo: The Fall of Reach''''', ''page 145''</ref>
