| The '''Covenant Hall''', also known as the '''Covenant Barracks''', is a structure that can be built on a [[Covenant]] [[Covenant Citadel|Citadel]].{{Ref/Site|Id=hwsite|URL=http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/Hall.aspx|Site=Official Halo Wars Community Site|Page=Hall|D=18|M=02|Y=2011|LocalArchive=Archive:Halowars.com/Covenant#Hall}} | | The '''Hall''' is a [[Covenant]] structure featured in [[Halo Wars]]. |
|
| |
|
| ==Overview==
| | The Hall is built onto the [[Citadel (Covenant)|Citadel]], and is where the player builds infantry units, such as [[Unggoy]] [[Lances]] (Four Unggoy lead by a single [[Sangheili]]), [[Mgalekgolo]] pairs and [[Kig-yar]] pairs. This is also the place where [[Covenant]] upgrades on weapons and armor are researched.<ref>http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/Hall.aspx</ref> |
| The Hall serves as the location where Covenant infantry, namely the [[Unggoy]], [[Kig-Yar]] and [[Mgalekgolo]], are trained. The different races are housed separately according to their status in the caste system. Unggoy, the lowest of the caste system, performs many of the more demeaning tasks. The Kig-Yar tend to only socialize amongst themselves, while the Mgalekgolo communicate with each other via their collective consciousness.{{Ref/Reuse|hwsite}} The [[UNSC]] equivalent to the Hall is the [[UNSC Barracks|Barracks]], while the [[Banished]] equivalent is the [[Raid Camp]]. | |

| {{Quote|The Covenant Hall rallies infantry units to the cause. Upgrades for infantry units are also housed here.|In-game description}}
| |
| In ''[[Halo Wars]]'', the Hall costs {{HWResources|150}} to be built. It produce infantry units and corresponding improvements for them. It is where Covenant infantry are trained and upgraded, such as Unggoy lances (four Unggoy led by a single [[Sangheili]] or a single [[Jiralhanae]], depending on the leader chosen), [[Mgalekgolo]] pairs, and [[Kig-Yar]] [[Kig-Yar Sniper|Sniper]] pairs. This is also where most Covenant infantry upgrades are researched, such as increased troop power and weapons. The Hall forms the core of the Covenant ground-attack forces, especially early in the game, when vehicles are sparse.

| These are some units upgrades that can be found in the Hall.
