'''Covenant Ship''' was a level in ''[[Halo 2]]'' that was going to take place after [[Cairo Station (Level)|Cairo Station]], on a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[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 (Platform)|Cairo Station]]'s docking bay the player would be blasted toward the Covenant ship and board 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 [[Wraith]] and end up destroying the ship by bombarding its power core with the Wraith's [[Plasma Mortar|mortar]]. As mentioned by [[Joseph Staten]], [[Commander]] Miranda Keyes and her [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]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.
*Evidence of the level's existence can be found in the [[Halo 2 Announcement Trailer]] in which John is clearly seen jumping from Cairo Station without a bomb.
