The '''Covenant Battleship'''<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', page 32</ref> was a heavy [[Capital Ship|Capital Warship]] classification within the [[Covenant Navy]]. This warship was approximately two kilometers long, had five bulbous sections and bristled with a dozen [[Energy Projector]]s - enough weapons and firepower to decimate any [[UNSC]] [[Fleet]] from long range. It was larger than most [[Covenant]] [[warship]]s, even surpassing the keel length of the {{Class|CCS|Battlecruiser}}, but itself was dwarfed by the Covenant [[Assault Carrier]].
 
==Background==
Multiple battleships defended the ''[[Unyielding Hierophant]]''. {{citation needed}}
 
A battleship was encountered by the [[UNSC Heracles|UNSC ''Heracles'']], [[UNSC Vostok|UNSC ''Vostok'']], and [[UNSC Arabia|UNSC ''Arabia'']] as well as the forces under [[Vice Admiral]] [[Preston Cole]] in the [[Second Battle of Harvest]]<ref name="gen">'''[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]'''</ref>. It single handedly destroyed thirteen ships in Cole's fleet before being destroyed by concentrated fire.
 
==Appearance==
The Battleship is made up of five primary bulbous sections and appears as a light shade of purple. It is one of the largest ships in the Covenant fleet. It's extremely well-armed and boasts three [[energy projector]]s near the fore of the ship and four to six on its stern. Various [[Pulse Laser Turret]]s and [[plasma torpedo]] tubes litter the hull as well.
 
Though most of its power is likely used up by the large number of energy projectors it uses in battle, the ship still can project a shield strong enough to protect it from multiple nuclear missiles and [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC]] rounds. However, the shield and hull will buckle under concentrated fire as shown when the 27 ships left in Cole's fleet were able to destroy one.<ref name="gen"/>
