The '''corvette''' is a [[warship]] classification that was used by the [[Covenant]], before the empire's collapse in [[2552]]. The Covenant employed corvettes for a wide array of functions. Historically, they were often responsible for surveying [[Forerunner]] artifact sites and for the deployment of small artifact-retrieval teams to elude any local defensive measures.<ref name="universe"/> | |||
During the [[Human-Covenant War]], corvettes were utilized by the Covenant in front-line combat roles as well as long-range reconnaissance of potential [[Covenant fleet|naval]] staging areas and colonies. The relatively small size of Covenant corvettes, as well as their maneuverability and low sensor signature, allow them to remain undetected except at close range.<ref name="universe"/> | |||
==Classes== | |||
Two classes of corvettes were used by the Covenant throughout the Human-Covenant War: | |||
*The {{Class|DAV|light corvette}} is a smaller class of corvette, commonly assigned in stealth operations and intelligence gathering. Vessels of this class were also tasked with the deployment and retrieval of [[Ranger]] teams.<ref name="universe"/> | |||
*The {{Class|SDV|heavy corvette}} is a relatively larger corvette class, often given reconnaissance and ground support roles.<ref name="essential">'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 13''</ref> They rarely engaged hostile warships directly, and instead deployed [[space fighter]]s and served as escorts for [[capital ship]]s.<ref name="universe"/> | |||
