| | The '''Covenant Destroyer'''<ref>[[Halopedia:Covenant Ship Classification Canon Debate|Covenant Ship Classification Halopedia Canon]]</ref> is a warship classification within the Covenant Navy. |
|
| |
|
| ==Background== | | ==Background== |
| There are three known classes of destroyers: the {{Pattern|Sinaris|heavy destroyer}}, the {{Pattern|Wik|light destroyer}}, and an unidentified classification of which only one example is known, represented by the ''[[Defender of Faith]]''. An additional so-called "super-destroyer" has been referenced by [[United Nations Space Command]] personnel in naval warfare, though this is an informal term used to describe the {{Pattern|Rasus|interdictor}}. ''CPV''-class destroyers were seen in various battles early in the [[Human-Covenant War]],<ref>''Halo Wars''</ref><ref>''Halo Wars: Genesis''</ref> while a slightly smaller ''RPV''-class destroyer was present during the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]] in [[2552#July|July 2552]].{{Ref/Reuse|FoR}}
| | This class of starship is extremely well-armed, boasting multiple [[pulse laser]] turrets, [[plasma torpedo]] launcher(s), a single [[Energy Projector]], and a full compliment of [[Seraph]] starfighters. |
|
| |
|
| In general, Covenant destroyers are very well-armed, boasting multiple point-defense [[pulse laser turret]]s, [[plasma turret]]s, [[energy projector]]s, and a full complement of [[Seraph]] fighters. The destroyer's weapons are so potent that [[UNSC Navy]] [[Captain (NAVCOM)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] remarked that they turned UNSC ships into "Swiss cheese" in many engagements.<ref>'''''Halo: The Fall of Reach''''', ''page 145''</ref>
| | This dangerous warship classification has the distinctive three huge sections of most heavier Covenant warships, mirroring the lethality of its larger cousins. They are used as escorts for battlegroups using larger ship classes, able to hold their own in combat while protecting their battlegroup from threats. |
|
| |
|
| This warship classification features the distinctive three-section design of most heavier Covenant warships, mirroring the deadliness of its larger counterparts. Destroyers are often used as escorts for [[Covenant fleet|fleets]] or [[Battle group|task forces]] and are able to hold their own in combat, while protecting more valuable ships from enemy threats.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}
