(Given the Encyclopedia's mention of the Riruku being a "Covenant "satchel charge"", I feel it's fairly reasonable to infer they likely intend this to be a Riruku)

The '''Covenant charge''' is a portable explosive used by the [[Covenant]] on reconnaissance missions.
 
==Background==
Similar in purpose and function to explosive charges used by [[human]] militaries, this charge is a small explosive device able to adhere to a number of surfaces for an indefinite period of time until activated. A remote trigger is used to detonate the charge.
 
==Operational use==
[[Zuka 'Zamamee]] used such a weapon when he found [[Yayap]] and several other imprisoned [[Unggoy]] soldiers during the [[Battle of Installation 04]]. Once the Unggoy were safely far away from the cage [[door]], the Sangheili attached the charge to the door. After 'Zamamee backed away he activated the remote, setting off the explosion. This broke the door lock which let all of the Unggoy out of the cage.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', Chapter 8, ''page 216'' (2003 paperback); ''pages 240-241'' (2010 paperback)</ref>
