|
| ==Overview==
| | The '''summit''' is a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] building featured in ''[[Halo Wars]]''. |
| The summit is a large deployable structure capable of being deployed as an extension on a Covenant citadel or [[Covenant citadel#Minibase|minibase]]. Under the command of summit-masters,{{Ref/Novel|Id=Moon|Halo: Battle for the Blood-Moon}} they serve as field airbases and are capable of being [[Slipspace translocation|teleported]] into their mounts from an orbiting [[Covenant starship]].{{Ref/Game|Id=Gameplay|HW|Gameplay}} | |
|
| |
|
| Summits are capable of mass-manufacturing, maintaining and upgrading a large variety of Covenant vehicles.{{Ref/Reuse|Umbrage}}{{Ref/Reuse|WPUmbrage}} These include the {{Pattern|Bkowe'nei|Vampire}} and the various [[design pattern]]s of [[Banshee]],{{Ref/Reuse|OHWCS}}{{Ref/Reuse|Gameplay}} and [[Phantom]].{{Ref/Reuse|Umbrage}}{{Ref/Reuse|WPUmbrage}} [[Huragok]] may also be serviced at a summit, when not housed in their own dedicated [[Huragok recharge station]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|OHWCS}}{{Ref/Reuse|Gameplay}}
| | It constructs aircraft such as [[Banshees]] and [[Vampires]] and [[Engineers]]. All of the air-based vehicle upgrades are researched at the Summit. Unlike the [[UNSC]] [[UNSC airpad]] which requires the second tech level, the summit can be built at a tech level of zero, making an early 'Banshee rush' fairly easy. Like all buildings in ''[[Halo Wars]]'', it takes the color of the player's team.<ref>http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/Summit.aspx</ref> |

|
| ==Operational history==
| | The summit is the Covenant equivalent of the [[UNSC airpad]]. |
| Summits were used by the imperial Covenant during their [[planetary warfare]] campaigns during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. These included deployments on [[Arcadia]]{{Ref/Level|HW|Dome of Light}} and [[Trove]].{{Ref/Level|HW|Beachhead}}
| |
|
| |
|
| In the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|post-war]] era, summits continued to see use in the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant remnant]] led by [[Jul 'Mdama]]. In [[2558#February|February 2558]], one such installation was deployed by 'Mdama's forces on [[Requiem]] and was the site of an attack by [[Fireteam Shadow]] during the [[Requiem Campaign]]. During the installation, the [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IVs]] used [[TQ-8 seeker drone]]s to help their attack on the base, though the mission was interruped with Shadow's recall for a more [[Operation: VERTICAL UMBRAGE|urgent mission]] to [[Naval boarding|board]] and destroy a {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}}, ''[[Panom's Canticle]]''. To speed up their evacuation from the site, Shadow stole a Phantom dropship docked at the summit site to use for transportation.{{Ref/Reuse|Umbrage}}{{Ref/Reuse|WPUmbrage}}

|
| The summit serves as the Covenant counterpart to the [[UNSC Airpad]] and constructs units such as [[Banshee]]s, [[Bkowe'nei-pattern Vampire|Vampires]] and [[Huragok|Engineers]]. All the air-based unit upgrades are researched at the Summit. Unlike the UNSC Airpad, which requires a tech level {{HWTech|2}}, the summit can be built at a tech level of {{HWTech|0}}, making an early "Banshee rush" fairly easy. Like all buildings in ''Halo Wars'', it takes the color of the player's team.
