Covenant Bomb
The Covenant Bomb was a type of large tactical ordnance. They were the counterpart to the UNSC's tactical Nuclear weapons.
History
These bombs were used during the Battle of Earth to assault the Orbital Defense Platforms. There were several boarding parties which consisted of many Elites, Grunts, and Drones. The Boarding parties delivered the ordnance and destroyed Athens Station and Malta Station. The bomb that was on Cairo Station was secured by John-117 and Cortana. The Spartan performed a micro-gravity maneuver to deliver the device to a Covenant Assault Carrier which sheilds were down and a pair of Longswords created a 'hole' in which the Cheif floated into and activated the bomb. The enemy Assaut carrier was destroyed.[1]
Appearance
The covenant bomb's appearance is of a long bulbous shape with many spikes protruding from it. It has a central control hub located at the top of the bomb.
