Covenant Spires are used primarily as command posts and teleportation sites for troops. Their shields make them difficult to attack, as they can only be disabled by ground forces after they infiltrate the structure. They also presumably make effective watch-towers. | Covenant Spires are used primarily as command posts and teleportation sites for troops.

Spires also appear to be able to somehow generate a "cloaking field," similar to active camouflage. Ships above the Spire (or a network of them) can become completely invisible to both instruments and sight, as seen with the [[Covenant supercarrier|supercarrier]] ''[[Long Night of Solace]]''. | Spires also appear to be able to somehow generate a "cloaking field," similar to active camouflage.

However, it is possible that the Long Night of Solace generated the field itself, which a ship of its size would likely be able to do, and the Spires were simply used to conceal the origin of the smaller transport and attack craft it was sending to Reach. | ||
