These first 3 corvettes and the [[Covenant supercarrier]] ''[[Long Night of Solace]]'' were part of a small advance force sent ahead to Reach. It is unclear if there were any more corvettes or other ship-types involved, but it does not seem likely. | ||
Other Covenant corvettes took part in the ground battle on Reach. At least three such corvettes were present during the occupation and destruction of the city of [[New Alexandria]]. One took part in the destruction of civilian transports, but was heavily damaged by missile batteries, apparently disabling its weapons and allowing the other transports to escape.<ref name="exodus">'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Exodus (level)|Exodus]]''</ref> | Other Covenant corvettes took part in the ground battle on Reach.
