'''Corvette''' is a [[warship]] classification that was used by the [[Covenant]], before the empire's collapse in [[2552]].<ref name="universe">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/covenant-corvette '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Covenant Corvette'']</ref> The Covenant employed corvettes for a wide array of functions. They are used for stealth, intelligence gathering, and escort.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} 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/Reuse|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/Reuse|universe}} | |||
==Classes== | |||
Three known classes of corvettes were used by the Covenant throughout the Human-Covenant War: | |||
*The {{Pattern|Makar|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/Reuse|universe}} | |||
*The {{Pattern|Ceudar|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/Reuse|universe}} | |||
*The [[Intrusion corvette]] is a stealth vessel employed by the Covenant. | |||
