| | The '''Covenant Frigate''' is a light-tonnage warship, seeming to be the smallest and most common warship classification among the [[Covenant]]'s space fleets. equipped with three Pulse Lasers and at least one [[Plasma Torpedo]] turrent launcher. They appear at most [[Covenant]]-[[UNSC]] engagements. They are larger then a [[UNSC Frigate]], but smaller then other UNSC ships. They have overall bubeus shape. |

| <!--There is an unidentified model of frigate that are equipped with multiple [[pulse laser turret]]s, four point-defense guns and one-three [[plasma turret]]s on a lateral surface. They have participated in most [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]-[[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] ship-to-ship engagements. Although smaller than most other Covenant capital ships, they are still larger than a [[UNSC frigate]] or [[UNSC destroyer]] at around a thousand of meters.<ref name=pg268>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]''', ''page 268''</ref> Like most other Covenant warships, frigates have a curving, bulbous shape and are equipped with energy shields. Furthermore, the [[Sangheili]] equipped their warships with anti-[[plasma turret|plasma torpedo]] "counter guiding signal" systems. It is also equipped with [[energy shielding]], resistant to 1 {{Class|Shiva|nuclear missile}} or 1 [[energy projector]] shot, and its hull is resistant to 1 [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC]] round and 225 [[Archer missile]]s or 1 plasma torpedo.{{Citation needed}} The [[Jiralhanae]] stole this technology during the [[Great Schism]] and equipped some of their frigates, such as the ''[[Revenant (ship)|Revenant]]'', ''[[Twilight Compunction]]'' and ''[[Tenebrous]]'', with such devices. However, they did not understand the full intricacies of the system, thus limiting their effectiveness.<ref name="GoO22">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''Chapter 22''</ref>-->
