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==
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.

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.

== Vessels of this Classification ==
*''[[Absolution]]''
*''[[Bloodied Spirit]]''
*''[[Far Sight Lost]]''
*''[[Rapturous Arc]]''
*[[Unnamed Covenant Destroyer]]

== Trivia ==
*[[Jacob Keyes]] noted its weapons systems, saying it turned UNSC ships into "Swiss cheese".<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 145''</ref>
*Jacob Keyes destroyed one with a maneuver later dubbed as the ''[[Keyes Loop]]'' at [[Sigma Octanus IV]].<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 156''</ref>
*Covenant Destroyers are seen on the back cover of ''[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]''.
*The Destroyer is incorrectly referred to as a Carrier in some ''[[Halo Wars]]'' guides.{{fact}}
