[[Battle Group Sierra-3|UNSC Battle Group Sierra-3]] | ==Design== | ||
The design of the ''CPV''-class heavy destroyer is unique among Covenant vessels. It features a roughly teardrop-shaped fore section that droops downward, forming a bulbous protrusion; the dorsal surface of this section contains a recessed area, which likely contains the [[bridge]]. The hull is much narrower amidships. Near the aft end, the hull splits into six sleek, winglike structures. The shortest pair face outward at a slightly upward angle, the mid-sized structures curve upward at an inward-facing angle, and the largest structures curve downward, also facing inward. The ''CPV'' features far more running lights than other Covenant vessels, many of which resemble Covenant glyphs. | |||
Each of the largest wing structures contains at least two [[plasma torpedo]] turrets on its inner surface,<ref name="Freefall"/> though the ship likely possesses more turrets elsewhere. An [[energy projector]] is mounted on the bottom of the forward "bulb",<ref name="intro"/><ref name="Genesis"/><ref name="Origins"/> similar to the {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}} and the {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}}, which also possess energy projectors in this area. The ship is capable of deploying numerous dropships, [[Type-29 Close-support Fighter|Vampire fighters]], and [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee attack aircraft]], as well as thousands of infantry. | |||
==Deployment history== | |||
Many ''CPV''-class heavy destroyers were deployed during the [[Harvest Campaign]], which lasted from [[2526]] to [[2531]]. During the Covenant's counterattacks in the early years of the campaign, ''CPV''s were used to [[Glassing|glass]] areas that had been secured by the [[United Nations Space Command]], eradicating most of the [[human]] presence on [[Harvest]]; this cycle continued until the planet's liberation in [[2531#February|February 2531]].<ref name="intro"/> [[Unidentified CPV-class heavy destroyer|One such vessel]] was present during the [[Battle of the Flood-controlled Shield World]], where it engaged the {{UNSCship|Spirit of Fire}} after a midair collision between the two ships; the destroyer dispatched several large [[Boarding|boarding parties]], supported by Banshees, Vampires, and plasma torpedo fire, in an effort to disable the human vessel, though the attack was repelled. [[Battle Group Sierra-3|UNSC Battle Group Sierra-3]] destroyed a ''CPV''-class destroyer at the [[Battle of 18 Scorpii]] in [[2543]].<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''page 472-473''</ref> | |||
