| The [[Covenant Bomb]] was a type of large tactical ordnance. They were the counterpart to the [[UNSC]]'s tactical [[Nuclear weapon]]s.
| |
| | |
| 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]] which sheilds were down and a pair of [[Longswords]] created a 'hole' in which the Cheif floated into and activated the bomb. The enemy Assaut carrier was destroyed.<ref name="H2_CairoLevel">''[[Halo 2]]'', [[Cairo Station (Level)]]"</ref>

| |
| *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 going to be included in halo 2 and instead there would be a level were master chief would board the covenant ship and destroy it from within.But due to deadlines it was cut and they decided to add the bomb.
