The Covenant Artillery[1] is a piece of ground-based Covenant field artillery.

It fires bolts of plasma similar to those of the Wraith tanks in indirect parabolic trajectories. Even a single impact is extremely damaging.

Appearances

Halo 2 E3 Demo

The Covenant Arillery was first seen in the Halo 2 E3 Demo. When the Covenant invaded Mombasa, they stationed a handful of artillery pieces on the ground, which demolished UNSC buildings. Eventually, SPARTAN-117 and his group of Marines encountered one, and Sergeant Banks called in a Longsword airstrike to destroy the stationary mortar.

Halo 2

The roles of the Covenant Artillery pieces as an active part of the Covenant assault were greatly downgraded in Halo 2, as the entire First Battle of Earth was downgraded. The Covenant appearantly placed several artillery pieces on the beachheads of New Mombasa, but did not fire them.[2]

Halo 3

The Covenant Artillery was seen briefly in a reworked format in the Halo 3 E3 2007 Trailer and on the last part of the Halo 3 level The Storm. One under control of the Covenant Loyalists was stationed on an African cliff and shot down a nearby Longsword starfighter. It was later destroyed by the Chief and the Arbiter during the Battle of Voi, when they shooted throught a hole in the cannon so that Lord Hood Could start a bombing run on the Forerunner Dreadnought.
