==Appearance==
A Covenant assault carrier's escape pod has two engines mounted on "wings", much like a [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]], as well as two more at the rear. The craft has two small viewports on the front. It bears a noticeable resemblance to the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC's]] [[Bumblebee escape pod]].
