The Covenant Cruiser[1] is a classification of a heavy-tonnage Covenant starship within the Covenant Navy. The Covenant Cruiser, however, should not be ambiguated with the Covenant CCS-class Battlecruiser.
The Cruiser is larger than the Covenant Light Cruiser but is smaller than the Covenant Carrier. They are armed with five Plasma Turrets and laterally-mounted pulse lasers[2], but lack a compliment of supplementary Seraph-class Starfighters. Like other Covenant ships, the Covenant Cruiser is roughly oblong in shape with touches of a purple and blue color scheme.
Appearances
- Six Covenant Cruisers accompanied the Covenant Flagship Ascendant Justice on a reconnaissance mission to the ruins of Alpha Halo after its destruction by UNSC forces.

After the Master Chief and a group of UNSC ground forces were able to hijack the Flagship, one Cruiser jumped to Slipspace to alert Covenant forces of the destruction of Alpha Halo and UNSC activity in the area.
