[[File:Covenant barracks 01.jpg|300px|thumb|The Covenant Hall.]]

The '''hall''' is a [[Covenant]] structure featured in ''[[Halo Wars]]'' that can be built on a [[Covenant citadel]].<ref name="hall">[http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/Hall.aspx '''Halowars.com''' - ''Game Info'']</ref> It costs 150 resources and no tech level.

The Covenant barracks is home to the well-trained and numerous infantry of the Covenant Forces. [[Unggoy]] [[lance]]s, [[Kig-Yar]] and [[Mgalekgolo]] are trained here. The different races are housed separately according to their status in the caste system. Unggoy, the lowest of the caste system, performs many of the more demeaning tasks. The Kig-Yar tend to only socialize amongst themselves, while the Mgalekgolo communicate with each other via their collective consciousness. 

The hall is built onto the [[Covenant citadel|citadel]], and is where Covenant infantry are trained and upgraded, such as Unggoy lances (four Unggoy led by a single [[Sangheili]] or a single [[Jiralhanae]], depending on the leader chosen), [[Mgalekgolo]] pairs and [[Kig-Yar]] [[Kig-Yar Sniper|Sniper]] pairs. This is also where most Covenant infantry upgrades are researched, such as increased troop power and weapons. The Hall forms the core of the Covenant ground-attack forces, especially early in the game, when vehicles are sparse.{{Ref/Reuse|hall}}

This is also where unit upgrades can be found.
