The '''Hall''' is a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] structure featured in [[Halo Wars]].<ref name="hall">[http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/Hall.aspx '''Halowars.com''' - ''Game Info'']</ref>
The '''Covenant Hall''', also known as the '''Covenant Barracks''', is a structure that can be built on a [[Covenant]] [[Covenant Citadel|Citadel]].{{Ref/Site|Id=hwsite|URL=http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/Hall.aspx|Site=Official Halo Wars Community Site|Page=Hall|D=18|M=02|Y=2011|LocalArchive=Archive:Halowars.com/Covenant#Hall}}


The Covenant Barracks is home to the Well-trained and numerous infantry of the Covenant Forces. Grunts lead by Elites, Jackals and Hunters are trained here. The different races are housed separately according to their status in the caste system. Grunts, the lowest of the caste system performs many of the more demeaning tasks. The lone Jackals tend to only socialize amongst themselves, while the solitary Hunters communicate with each other via their collective consciousness.  
==Overview==
The Hall serves as the location where Covenant infantry, namely the [[Unggoy]], [[Kig-Yar]] and [[Mgalekgolo]], are trained. The different races are housed separately according to their status in the caste system. Unggoy, the lowest of the caste system, performs many of the more demeaning tasks. The Kig-Yar tend to only socialize amongst themselves, while the Mgalekgolo communicate with each other via their collective consciousness.{{Ref/Reuse|hwsite}} The [[UNSC]] equivalent to the Hall is the [[UNSC Barracks|Barracks]], while the [[Banished]] equivalent is the [[Raid Camp]].


The Hall is built onto the [[Covenant citadel|Citadel]], and is where Covenant infantry are trained and upgraded, such as [[Unggoy]] [[Lance]]s (four Unggoy, or Grunts, led by a single [[Sangheili]], or a single [[Jiralhanae]], depending on the leader chosen), [[Mgalekgolo]] pairs and [[Kig-yar]] pairs. This is also where most Covenant infantry upgrades are researched, such as increased troop power and weapons. The Hall forms the core of the Covenant ground-attack forces, especially early in the game, when vehicles are sparse. It can be protected by the [[covenant shield generator|shield generator]].<ref name="hall"/>
