| The '''Covenant Battleship'''<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', page 32</ref> was a heavy [[Capital Ship|Capital Warship]] classification within the [[Covenant Navy]]. This warship was approximately two kilometers long, had five bulbous sections and bristled with a dozen [[Energy Projector]]s - enough weapons and firepower to decimate any [[UNSC]] [[Fleet]] from long range. It was larger than most [[Covenant]] [[warship]]s, even surpassing the keel length of the {{Class|CCS|Battlecruiser}}, but itself was dwarfed by the Covenant [[Assault Carrier]].

| ==Background==
| |
| Multiple battleships defended the ''[[Unyielding Hierophant]]''. {{citation needed}}
| |
| | |
| A battleship was encountered by the [[UNSC Heracles|UNSC ''Heracles'']], [[UNSC Vostok|UNSC ''Vostok'']], and [[UNSC Arabia|UNSC ''Arabia'']] as well as the forces under [[Vice Admiral]] [[Preston Cole]] in the [[Second Battle of Harvest]]<ref name="gen">'''[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]'''</ref>. It single handedly destroyed thirteen ships in Cole's fleet before being destroyed by concentrated fire.
| |
| | |
| ==Appearance==
| |
| The Battleship is made up of five primary bulbous sections and appears as a light shade of purple. It is one of the largest ships in the Covenant fleet. It's extremely well-armed and boasts three [[energy projector]]s near the fore of the ship and four to six on its stern. Various [[Pulse Laser Turret]]s and [[plasma torpedo]] tubes litter the hull as well.
| |
| | |
| Though most of its power is likely used up by the large number of energy projectors it uses in battle, the ship still can project a shield strong enough to protect it from multiple nuclear missiles and [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC]] rounds. However, the shield and hull will buckle under concentrated fire as shown when the 27 ships left in Cole's fleet were able to destroy one.<ref name="gen"/>
