Merg Vol's Covenant utilized much of the same equipment that the original Covenant used. Most [[Unggoy]] used the [[Type-25 plasma pistol]] while [[Kig-Yar]] troops made use of [[Type-33 Needler]]s. [[Sangheili]] personnel were typically armed with the [[Type-51 plasma repeater]]. Higher ranking members of the group used the [[Type-33 Needler]] and [[Type-52 focus rifle]]. [[Jiralhanae]] within the faction regularly used [[Type-25 Brute Shot]]s and [[Type-2 gravity hammer]]s. [[Type-32 Ghost]]s and [[Type-26 Wraith]]s made up the majority of the faction's ground vehicles with [[Type-52 Anti-Aircraft Wraith]]s serving as anti-aircraft artillery. The faction also made use of the [[Type-38 Tyrant]] and [[mega turret]]. Like the original Covenant the [[Type-26 Banshee]] remained as the main aircraft of the faction. Both [[Type-25 Spirit]]s and [[Type-52 Phantom]]s were used as troop transports with at least one [[Phantom gunboat]] being used as Parg Vol's personal transport.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''', ''[[Mission 21: Hunt for the Phantom|Hunt for the Phantom]]''</ref> The faction's fleet was composed of at least four {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}}s and five {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}}s.<ref name="Umbra"/><ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''', ''[[Mission 6: Siege of Faraday|Siege of Faraday]]''</ref> | Merg Vol's Covenant utilized much of the same equipment that the original Covenant used.
