There is an unidentified model of frigate that are equipped with multiple [[pulse laser turret]]s, four point-defense guns and one-three [[plasma turret]]s on a lateral surface. They have participated in most [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]-[[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] ship-to-ship engagements. Although smaller than most other Covenant capital ships, they are still larger than a [[UNSC frigate]] or [[UNSC destroyer]] at around a thousand of meters.<ref name=pg268/> Like most other Covenant warships, frigates have a curving, bulbous shape and are equipped with energy shields. Furthermore, the [[Sangheili]] equipped their warships with anti-[[plasma turret|plasma torpedo]] "counter guiding signal" systems. The [[Jiralhanae]] stole this technology during the [[Great Schism]] and equipped some of their frigates, such as the ''[[Revenant (ship)|Revenant]]'', ''[[Twilight Compunction]]'' and ''[[Tenebrous]]'', with such devices. However, they did not understand the full intricacies of the system, thus limiting their effectiveness.<ref name="GoO22">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''Chapter 22''</ref> | There is an unidentified model of frigate that are equipped with multiple [[pulse laser turret]]s, four point-defense guns and one-three [[plasma turret]]s on a lateral surface.

There is another unidentified model of frigate that is shaped like a "long-necked disk", with a dovetail stern. It carried multiple weapon systems including secondary pulse laser turrets and a primary unknown weapon system. The frigate also carried a self-destruct system. One such vessel, ''[[Steadfast Strike]]'', was part of the [[Flotilla of Unsung Piety]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=HO4|Oblv|Chapter=4}} | There is another unidentified model of frigate that is shaped like a "long-necked disk", with a dovetail stern.
