'''Covenant destroyer'''<ref name="FoR">'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'''</ref> refers to at least three different [[warship]] classifications within the [[Covenant Navy]].


==Background==
==Background==
There are three known classes of destroyers: the [[CPV-class heavy destroyer]], the [[RPV-class light destroyer]], and the Super-destroyer. CPV-class destroyers were seen in various battles early in the [[Human-Covenant War]],<ref>''Halo Wars''</ref><ref>''Halo Wars: Genesis''</ref>, while the slightly smaller RPV-class destroyer was present during the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]] in [[2552#July|July 2552]].<ref name="FoR"/> A much larger class of destroyer, the [[Covenant super-destroyer|super-destroyer]], was fielded during the [[Second Battle of Harvest]] on [[2526#March|March 1, 2526]].<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions''': "The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole", ''page 471''</ref>
There are three known classes of destroyers: the {{Pattern|Sinaris|heavy destroyer}}, the {{Pattern|Wik|light destroyer}}, and an unidentified classification of which only one example is known, represented by the ''[[Defender of Faith]]''. An additional so-called "super-destroyer" has been referenced by [[United Nations Space Command]] personnel in naval warfare, though this is an informal term used to describe the {{Pattern|Rasus|interdictor}}. ''CPV''-class destroyers were seen in various battles early in the [[Human-Covenant War]],<ref>''Halo Wars''</ref><ref>''Halo Wars: Genesis''</ref> while a slightly smaller ''RPV''-class destroyer was present during the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]] in [[2552#July|July 2552]].{{Ref/Reuse|FoR}}


In general, Covenant destroyers are very well-armed, boasting multiple point-defense [[pulse laser turret]]s, [[plasma turret]]s, [[energy projector]]s, and a full complement of [[Type-31 Exoatmospheric Multi-role Fighter|Seraph fighters]]. The destroyer's weapons are so potent that [[UNSC Navy]] [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] remarked that they turned UNSC ships into "Swiss cheese" in many engagements.<ref>'''''Halo: The Fall of Reach''''', ''page 145''</ref>

This warship classification features the distinctive three-section design of most heavier Covenant warships, mirroring the deadliness of its larger counterparts. Destroyers are often used as escorts for [[Covenant fleet|fleets]] or [[Task force|task forces]] and are able to hold their own in combat, while protecting more valuable ships from enemy threats.
