The | The '''Covenant supply case''' or '''space crate''' by the [[UNSC]], is a device that stores the [[weapons]] for [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] encampments. It can hold four hand-held sized weapons, or two larger weapons.<ref>[http://www.spartangames.co.uk/make-your-halo-table-look-awesome ''Spartan Games'' - Make your Halo table look awesome!] (Defunct)</ref> | ||

These crates are used by the Covenant much like the human weapon shelves on the [[Cairo Station]]. On [[Installation 04]], the more prepared Covenant had these crates locked from human activities. However, on [[Installation 05]] and on ''[[High Charity]]'', these containers were left open. The supply cases can carry any Covenant weapon | These crates are used by the Covenant much like the human weapon shelves on the [[Cairo Station]]. On [[Installation 04]], the more prepared Covenant had these crates locked from human activities. However, on [[Installation 05]] and on ''[[High Charity]]'', these containers were left open. The supply cases can carry any Covenant weapon. The crates are nearly identical to the early [[Covenant communication node]]s, and are possibly modified supply cases. A typical supply case is 1.82 meters, or 5 feet 11 inches, high.<ref>''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''</ref> [[Flood]] [[Pod infector|Pod infectors]] have also been known to hide in crates and surprise those who open them, requiring inspections on all crates.<ref>''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', p. ??</ref> | ||
Common weapons held by Covenant weapon holders include, but are not limited to: [[Type-25 plasma rifle|Plasma Rifles]], [[Type-50 particle beam rifle|Beam Rifles]], [[Type-25 Brute plasma rifle|Brute Plasma Rifles]], [[Type-31 needle rifle|Needle Rifles]], [[Type-25 Spiker|Brute Spikers]], [[Type-51 carbine|Covenant Carbines]], [[Type-1 energy sword|Energy Swords]], [[Type-50 concussion rifle|Concussion Rifles]], [[Type-33 fuel rod gun|Fuel Rod Guns]], [[Type-25 plasma pistol|Plasma Pistols]], [[Type-25 Brute Shot|Brute Shots]], [[Type-33 needler|Needlers]], and [[Type-52 Mauler|Brute Maulers]]. | Common weapons held by Covenant weapon holders include, but are not limited to: [[Type-25 plasma rifle|Plasma Rifles]], [[Type-50 particle beam rifle|Beam Rifles]], [[Type-25 Brute plasma rifle|Brute Plasma Rifles]], [[Type-31 needle rifle|Needle Rifles]], [[Type-25 Spiker|Brute Spikers]], [[Type-51 carbine|Covenant Carbines]], [[Type-1 energy sword|Energy Swords]], [[Type-50 concussion rifle|Concussion Rifles]], [[Type-33 fuel rod gun|Fuel Rod Guns]], [[Type-25 plasma pistol|Plasma Pistols]], [[Type-25 Brute Shot|Brute Shots]], [[Type-33 needler|Needlers]], and [[Type-52 Mauler|Brute Maulers]]. | ||
