'''Intrusion corvettes''' are a classification of stealth [[Covenant corvette|corvette]] employed by the [[Covenant]].

== Design ==
The intrusion corvette is shaped like a pair of teardrops connected by a thin middle fuselage, covered in (seemingly) randomly placed rows of blue lights. The corvette is equipped with a single anti-ship [[Plasma cannon (starship)|plasma cannon]], though the weapon's anti-ship status makes it unsuitable for anti-infantry work. The corvette is equipped with a [[gravity lift]] system which it can use to load/unload troops and equipment. The corvette's lift systems are large enough that during the [[Battle of Seoba]], a corvette attempted to lift the remains of the downed {{UNSCShip|Starry Night}}.{{Ref/Novel|Id=SS14|SS|Chapter=14}}

The intrusion corvette's bridge contains an observation blister which allows a crewmember to see into space outside the ship directly. The back of the bridge contains a maze of control consoles and equipment stands, with a tactical hologram projector. The hologram projector is surrounded by ten data-collection lecterns, each manned by a reader. Typically, two [[Obedientaries]] would each observe five of these readers, stood at opposite ends of the tactical hologram.{{Ref/Reuse|SS12}}

Intrusion corvettes are equipped with an [[active camouflage]] system, allowing them to remain unseen by enemy forces. These systems were sufficient enough to mask the corvettes from detection by the entire [[Chancellor's Guards|Bikon space force]] during their approach to [[Seoba]] in 2526. The craft's specialised [[repulsor engine]]s let out only a small amount of thermal emissions, such that there would only be ared flare that lasts a moment before vanishing on thermal scopes.{{Ref/Reuse|SS12}} [[Tel 'Szatulai]] begrudgingly considered these stealth systems inferior to those employed on UNSC [[Prowler]]s, with the corvettes' own sensor systems unable to detect the launch of several {{Class|Razor|prowler}}s.{{Ref/Novel|Id=SS12|SS|Chapter=12}}

In combat, the corvettes are easily downed by Covenant standards, being able to be taken down by a few lucky missile salvos from a {{Class|Razor|prowler}}.{{Ref/Novel|SS|Chapter=17}}

===Crew and complement===
The intrusion corvette maintains a small crew. The ship's bridge crew consists of at least a [[shipmaster]] and a [[second]], alongside ten [[Reader]]s and two [[Obedientaries]].{{Ref/Reuse|SS12}} Additionally, the corvette is capable of deploying [[Type-32 Ghost]]s and a number of infantry.{{Ref/Reuse|SS14}}

==Production notes==
The intrusion corvette's description is broadly similar to the [[Covenant stealth ship]] as described in ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''. However, it is presently unknown if the two are one and the same.
