The Covenant supply case[1][2], also known as an Almar-pattern repository, or informally known as a space crate by UNSC forces,[3][4] is a device used to store weapons and supplies for Covenant encampments.
Overview
Design details
Covenant supply cases encompass a variety of designs and functions,[3][4] with the most common being Almar-pattern repositories; tall rounded boxes with two front and back storage compartments. They come in various colors, ranging from magenta, maroon, and blue.[5][6][7][8]
