(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 small explosive used by the [[Covenant]] on recon missions. It was first used by [[Zuka 'Zamamee]] to release his partner [[Yayap]] from a cage.<ref>''Halo: The Flood'', page ??</ref>
 
==Background==
Similar in purpose and function to charges used by [[Human]] militaries, these charges are 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 [[Grunt]] soldiers in [[Halo: The Flood]]. Once the Grunts were safely far away from the cage door, the Elite 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 Grunts out of the cage.
 
==Trivia==
*It is a small device, comparable to C4 or thermite charges of the 21st Century.
 
==Appearances==
*''[[Halo: The Flood]]''
