'''Intrusion corvettes''' are a classification of stealth [[Covenant corvette|corvette]] employed by the [[Covenant]] and the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS12|HSS|Chapter=12}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSoR17|HSoR|Chapter=17}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=460}} | '''Intrusion corvettes''' are a classification of stealth [[Covenant corvette|corvette]] employed by the [[Covenant]] and the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS12|HSS|Chapter=12}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSoR17|HSoR|Chapter=17}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=460}} | ||

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|HSS12}} Intrusion corvettes are additionally equipped with a ''[[kelguid]]'' for navigation.{{Ref/ | The intrusion corvette's bridge contains an observation blister which allows a crewmember to see into space outside the ship directly.

==Operational history== | |||
===Human-Covenant War=== | |||
In [[2526#March|March 2526]], the five intrusion corvettes of the [[Bloodstar Flotilla]] led [[Battle of Seoba|an assault]] on Seoba, under the direction of Tel 'Szatulai. The First Blade was distressed by the seemingly superior [[Stealth ablative coating|stealth systems]] employed by the UNSC prowlers,{{Ref/Reuse|HSS12}} so he had one shot down to be recovered for study.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS13|HSS|Chapter=13}} Called the UNSC ''Starry Night'', [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]] [[John-117]] led eleven other Spartans to search for any surviving crew. Two of 'Szatulai's intrusion corvettes reached the prowler shortly before the Spartans, and began firing on the supersoldiers and deploying [[Bloodstars|troops]].{{Ref/Reuse|HSS14}} Due to the turncoat [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Hector Nyeto]]'s efforts to get the Spartan-IIs killed, he purposefully held off on attacking the intrusion corvettes under guise of waiting to get into a perfect position. Eventually, two of the corvettes were destroyed by the UNSC prowlers while [[Worthy Silence|a third]] was caught in the blast of the ''Starry Night''{{'}}s [[self-destruct]] as it hovered above the downed vessel, trying to recover it.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS15}} Shortly afterward, the Spartans removed the ''kelguid'' from the corvette's bridge and delivered it to [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] for inspection.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS16|HSS|Chapter=16}} | |||
Later that year, nine intrusion corvettes made up the majority of the Flotilla of Unsung Piety along with a single [[Covenant frigate]]. Most of the flotilla was destroyed in the three-way [[Battle of Netherop]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Oblivion]]'''</ref> | |||
===Post-Covenant War era=== | |||
In [[2559]], an intrusion corvette was dispatched from a [[Banished]] [[Covenant supercarrier|supercarrier]] to carry [[War Chief]] [[Escharum]] to [[Reach]]'s surface to personally oversee the search for the [[Menachite portal complex]]. After the arrival of [[Atriox]] from [[Installation 00|the Ark]], the corvette extracted the Banished leader and his arriving forces with its [[gravity lift]] and carried them away from the planet just before a [[Guardian]] could arrive in response to the portal's activation.{{Ref/Novel|Id=SoR|SoR}} | |||

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. | The intrusion corvette's description is broadly similar to the [[Covenant stealth ship]] as described in ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''.
