In ''Halo: First Strike'', on page 297, it is said that "there were even bigger vessels with five bulbous sections that were two kilometers stem to stern and had a dozen deadly energy projectors." As no other known Covenant ship class possesses the highly unusual armament of twelve energy projectors, it can be assumed the ships near the ''Unyielding Hierophant'' are of the same class as battleships, and the "200 meters" figure is an error. This is reinforced by the fact energy projectors are only installed on the Covenant's largest ships according to page 147 of ''Halo: First Strike''; with a length of 200 meters, the ship would be dwarfed by even the Covenant's smallest warships such as [[DAV-class light corvette|stealth corvettes]].</ref> | |||

The '''Covenant battleship''' is a heavy [[capital ship|capital warship]] classification within the [[Covenant Navy]].<ref name="enc">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 276'' (2011 edition)</ref> | |||
They are exceptional among Covenant vessels in that they possess a total of 12 [[energy projector]]s, making them one of the best-armed ships within the Covenant fleet. Their massive firepower allows them to decimate entire UNSC fleets from long range, and makes them ideal for defending key locations and ships.<ref name="enc"/> Their hulls have been described as having five of the bulbous sections characteristic of Covenant vessels.<ref name="fs"/> | |||
There were several battleships present in the [[Fall of Reach]].<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 32''</ref> In addition, there were multiple battleships in the [[Truth's fleet|fleet]] gathered to the ''[[Unyielding Hierophant]]''.<ref name="fs"/> | |||
