| ==Covenant Bomb==
| |
| | |
| The Covenant Bomb was a type of large tactical ordnance. They were the counterpart to the [[UNSC]]'s tactical [[Nuclear weapon]]s.
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| These bombs were used during the [[Battle of Earth]] to assault the [[Orbital Defense Platform]]s. There were several boarding parties which consisted of many Elites, Grunts, and Drones. The Boarding parties delivered the ordnance and destroyed [[Athens Station]] and [[Malta Station]]. The bomb that was on [[Cairo Station]] was secured by [[John-117]] and [[Cortana]]. The [[SPARTAN-II|Spartan]] performed a micro-gravity maneuver to deliver the device to a Covenant [[Assault Carrier]] with shields down and a 'hole' created by a pair of [[Longswords]]. The chief entered the hole and detonated the bomb in the core resulting the destruction of the assault carrier.<ref name="H2_CairoLevel">''[[Halo 2]]'', [[Cairo Station (Level)]]"</ref>

| ==Appearance==

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *[[Jason Jones]] of [[Bungie]] referred to the bomb as the "Giant Covenant Space Pickle".
| |
| *When the bomb is reactivated by [[John-117]] it takes [[7]] seconds to explode.
| |
| *It appears in [[Halo Zero]], a fan-made 2D Halo game made for the PC.
| |
| *The bomb only appears in [[Halo 2]].
| |
| * It is possible that it uses [[Antimatter]] and is the [[Antimatter Charge]] Cortana refers to.
| |
| | |
| *The bomb's appearance looks like a present-day naval mine (sea mine)
| |
| *The bomb was not originally going to be included in Halo 2, instead there would be a level were the Master Chief would board the Covenant Assault Carrier and destroy it from within, but due to deadlines, it was cut and Bungie decided to add the bomb.
