As an executioner, the ''CPV''-class destroyer is built for nothing less than heavy combat. Its main weapon is a ventral-mounted [[energy projector|''Infernus''-pattern superheavy excavation beam]] which is often used in [[glassing]] operations.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}<ref name="intro">'''Halo Wars''', cutscene [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4zyyI5o0hM&hd=1 ''Five Long Years'']</ref><ref name="Genesis">'''Halo Wars: Genesis'''</ref><ref name="Origins">'''Halo Legends''', ''Origins''</ref> Powered directly by the ship's forward [[pinch fusion reactor]], the ''Infernus'' exhibits the same power as the excavation beams on the {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}}. Their focusing arrays allow for a similar level of precision, with the operators of the beam capable of tuning its entwining magnetic fields and plasma to burn sigils into the surface of human colonies or carefully expose detected Forerunner reliquaries. In planetside attack operations, this is supported by forty [[Plasma bombardment mortar|''Carnax Et''-pattern plasma bombardment mortars]], with five mounted on either side of the central reactor. As the mortars are occasionally called to attack areas that have Covenant troops operating in them, the gunners are expected to obey all orders without question or mercy. For ship-to-ship combat, two ''Aljordan''-pattern plasma beam emitters are fitted. The destroyer also sports twenty-four [[Plasma cannon (starship)|''Melusean''-pattern plasma cannons]]: two of these weapons are mounted on the vessel's anterior,{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} two more are mounted on the inside of each ventral wing structure,<ref name="Freefall">'''Halo Wars''', campaign level ''[[Repairs]]'', cutscene [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sT_jhaMoeqM&hd=1 ''Freefall'']</ref> and at least two more are mounted laterally.{{Ref/Reuse|warfleet60}}{{Ref/Reuse|Freefall}} An additional six [[plasma torpedo|''Jaet''-pattern plasma torpedo silos]] have been fitted, which fire powerful guided munitions which are difficult to avoid and can even loop back and hit their targets if they miss. Twenty [[pulse laser turret|''Gon''-pattern pulse laser turret]]s are carried for destroying incoming fighters and missiles, although their sheer heat allows for a minimal role in ship-to-ship combat.
