Covenant [[CRS-class light cruiser]]s carry their own ventral beam weapons - most likely smaller, less powerful versions of the energy projectors used by their larger cousins. This weapon charges up like an energy projector, but glows green. In 2557, a Covenant light cruiser orbiting [[Requiem]] attempted to destroy the ''[[Forward Unto Dawn]]'' using its ventral energy weapon, but was stopped when John-117 destroyed the cruiser with a Hyperion-class nuclear missile.

It is also apparent that at least some classes of Covenant space stations also carry energy projects as their main defensive capability; one of the few known instances of this was when the ''[[UNSC Infinity]]'' encountered a [[Oth Lodon station|Covenant battlestation]] orbiting the gas giant [[Oth Lodon]] in [[2558]]. In this engagement the station, commandeered by [[Insurrectionist]]s of the [[New Colonial Alliance]] fired the station's main energy projector upon the UNSC flagship, severely damaging it with a single shot. This particular projector was mounted upon the station's central "tower", allowing for maximum range and effect against approaching targets.
