The '''Covenant Frigate'''<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], page 192</ref> is a medium-tonnage warship, seeming to be among the smallest and most common warship classification among the [[Covenant]]'s space [[fleets]]. These starships are equipped with multiple [[Pulse Laser turret|pulse lasers]], three or more, and at least one [[Plasma Torpedo]] launcher on a lateral surface. They appear at most [[Covenant]]-[[UNSC]] engagements. They are larger than a [[UNSC Frigate]] or [[UNSC destroyer]], but smaller than most UNSC cruisers (such as the {{Class|Marathon|Cruiser|}}), and like most other Covenant starships they have an overall bulbous shape.

Furthermore, the [[Sangheili]] also equipped their starships with anti-[[Plasma Torpedo]] "counter guiding signal" systems.<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''</ref> The [[Jiralhanae]] also stole this technology during the [[Covenant Civil War]] and equipped some of their frigates, such as the ''[[Reverant]]'', ''[[Twilight Compunction]]'', and ''[[Tenebrous]]'' with such devices. However, they did not understand the full intricacies, or workings, of the system.

At the Battle of Reach, two covenant frigates made a slispace microjump to the [[UNSC Prowler]] [[Circumference]] which did not enact the [[Cole Protocol]]. The frigates then released dozens of [[Sangheili]] [[Rangers]] to recover the nav core.
