Editing Covenant Ship

{{Era|RW}}
'''Covenant Ship''' was a planned level in ''[[Halo 2]]''. The level was set to take place after [[Cairo Station (level)|Cairo Station]], on a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Covenant assault carrier|Assault Carrier]], and would have served as [[Miranda Keyes]]'s main introduction.<ref name="Commentary">'''[[Halo 3]] [[Halo 3 Legendary Edition|Legendary Edition]]''' - ''Essentials, Disc Two - [[Halo 2]] [[List of Halo 2 Cinematic Cutscenes|Cinematics]] Commentary''</ref>

== Content ==
After opening the airlock of the [[Cairo Station]]'s docking bay, the player would be blasted toward the Covenant ship and boarded it instead of destroying it with the [[antimatter charge|bomb]]. This level would have involved infiltrating the Covenant ship, taking on and killing its crew and eventually stealing a [[Type-26 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]] and end up destroying the ship by bombarding its power core with the Wraith's [[plasma mortar|mortar]].

As mentioned by [[Joseph Staten]], Miranda Keyes and her [[ODST]]s would have also been onboard the ship in order to help you and may have played a big role in the eventual outcome. This level however was cut due to time constraints and replaced by a cinematic that created "just as much work" for [[Bungie]] Employees.<ref name="Commentary"/>

== Trivia ==
*The Covenant Bomb was added in order to destroy this ship without needing the level and find a reason for [[John-117]] to open the airlock.
*In the [[Halo 2 Announcement Trailer]], John-117 is clearly seen jumping from Cairo Station without a bomb, which is consistent with the existence of this level.
