| ==Classes==
| | The '''Covenant Frigate'''<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', page 192</ref> is a medium-tonnage warship, seeming to be among the smallest and most common warship types in the [[Covenant Navy]]. These starships are equipped with multiple [[Pulse Laser turret|pulse lasers]] and 1-3 [[Plasma Torpedo]] launchers on a lateral surface. They have participated in most [[Covenant]]-[[UNSC]] engagements. They are larger than a [[UNSC Frigate]] or [[UNSC Destroyer]], but smaller than most [[UNSC]] Cruisers (such as the {{Class|Marathon|Cruiser|}}) and, like most other [[Covenant]] warships, they have a curving, bulbous shape. |

| | At the [[Battle of Reach]], two Covenant Frigates made a [[Slipspace]] microjump in pursuit of the [[UNSC Prowler]] [[Circumference]] after its failure to enact the [[Cole Protocol]]. The Frigates then released [[Sangheili]] [[Rangers]] to board the [[UNSC Prowler]] to recover the [[NAVCOM]] core. |
