Covenant cargo tug

Were you looking for the U-shaped Covenant tug?

The cargo tug is a light transport craft of Covenant design. Virtually identical in outward appearance to the Type-29 Shadow, it is nonetheless a distinct vehicle, most conspicuously distinguished by its flight capability. It has a small cargo capacity and has been described as "about as dangerous as a toothpick".^[1]

A cargo tug left in the Covenant industrial facilities on Ealen IV was used to transport the human, Sangheili and Jiralhanae delegation to UNSC Infinity in orbit during Shipmaster Vata 'Gajat's attack to thwart the negotiations in early 2558.^[1]
