'''Covenant destroyer'''<ref name="ENC"/><ref name="FoR"/> refers to at least two different [[warship]] classifications within the [[Covenant]] [[Covenant Navy|Navy]].<ref group="Note">While never directly stated, the Destroyer described in ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'' is obviously a different kind of ship than the ones seen in ''[[Halo Wars]]'', as the destroyers in ''Halo Wars'' and ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' are different in size.</ref> | |||
==Background== | ==Background== | ||
Two types of ships referred to as Covenant destroyer have been encountered. Destroyers with a length of {{Convert|1500|m|ft|sp=us}} were seen in various [[battle]]s early in the [[Human-Covenant War]],<ref>''[[Halo Wars]]''</ref> and a smaller variant with a length of approximately {{Convert|647|m|ft|sp=us}} was present during the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]].<ref name="FoR"/> Though little is known about it, the only destroyer class known by designation is the [[CPV-class Destroyer]]. This class may or may not be one of the aforementioned destroyer types. | |||
The destroyer is extremely well-armed, boasting multiple point-defense [[pulse laser]] turrets, [[plasma torpedo]] launcher(s), a single [[Energy Projector]], and a full complement of the deadly {{Class|Seraph|Starfighter}}s. | |||
This warship classification | 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 that are of the larger ship classes, and are able to hold their own in combat, while protecting their battlegroups from enemy threats. | ||

*[[Jacob Keyes]] noted its weapons systems, saying it turned UNSC ships into "Swiss cheese".<ref>'''''Halo: The Fall of Reach''''', ''page 145''</ref> | |||
