Design patterns, commonly known simply as patterns, are templates used by the Covenant and its remnants to make and classify the numerous different types of their technology. Design patterns comprise instructions fed to nanomachines that construct Covenant machinery. Many patterns are based on the analysis and replication of Forerunner technology; however, improving or substantially altering the work of the "gods" was heavily restricted by the Prophets.[1]
Equipment patterns
Supply case
- Almar-pattern repository
Plasma battery
- Vantus-Pattern Eolipile
Sangheili harness patterns
Combat harness
The Sangheili Combat harness' helmet pattern was virtually unchanged for eleven hundred cycles.[2]
Commando harness
The Sangheili Commando harness' helmet pattern for the Commando Unit formed in 2552 was based on a pre-contact ground forces pattern with upgrades that include hardened communications gear and uplink capabilities.[2]
Infantry weapon patterns
Beam Rifle
During the Human-Covenant War, after Human snipers showed that pinpoint firepower could throw entire armies into disarray, Particle Beam Rifle patterns were quickly selected. Despite this, the Covenant do not distinguish the various Particle Beam Rifle patterns from one another, and simply group them together based on core components and intended use.[3]
Needler
Needler pre-Covenant design patterns use Subanese crystal in interesting but poorly understood ways. Sangheili artisan-armorers were researching to unlock the crystal's secrets after the fall of High Charity.[4]
Plasma Rifle
The most recognizable pattern of the Okarda'phaa-pattern plasma rifle is believed by the Office of Naval Intelligence to date back at least 500 years with only minor modifications over time.[5]
The Brute Plasma Rifle was made when the artisan-engineers in the Prophet of Truth's employment were allowed to modify the Plasma Rifle's sacred design pattern to suit the nature of the Jiralhanae.[5]
Plasma Pistol
The design pattern of the Plasma Pistol was reverse engineered from a Forerunner tool of indeterminate function, which was standardized and blessed for full-scale replication.[6]
There are several patterns of Plasma Pistols, most of which are grouped under the Type-25 Plasma Pistol label, and with the loss of High Charity, Plasma Pistols started to appear with numerous cases and variants.[6]
Shade turrets
Shade turrets for thousands of years, were simply provisioned to fleets, often of almost unrecognizable chassis shape and armament compared to contemporary patterns.[7]
Vehicles patterns
Banshee
- Oghal-pattern Attack Flyer
- Is'belox-pattern Banshee
- Irdnekt-pattern Banshee
- D'nomlhe-pattern Banshee
Insertion Pods
Scarab
Seraph
Spirit
- Dextro Xur-pattern warrior transport
- Taaku Xur-pattern warrior
- Mokol'ta-pattern heavy Spirit
- Nuro'k Xur-pattern warrior transport
Tarasque
Following the Covenant's end, the Tarasque became less ubiquitous, but the success of its design pattern cast a long shadow over its successors and cousins, such as the Phantom dropship.[8]
Revenant
Vehicle weapon patterns
Fuel rod cannon
- Novox-pattern - Used on the Kai-pattern Seraphs.
Heavy plasma cannon
- Murien-pattern - Used on the Dextro Xur-pattern Spirit.
- Tevaas Mu-pattern - Used on the Kai-pattern Seraph.
Ship patterns
Blockade runner
- Hekar Taa-pattern
CAS-class assault carrier
- Kerel-pattern
- Syfon-pattern
CCS-class battlecruiser
- Elefen-pattern[9]
- Ket-pattern
CPV-class heavy destroyer
CRS-class light cruiser
DAS-class storm cutter
DSC-class support ship
ORS-class heavy cruiser
Ship specification patterns
Repulsor engine (Maneuver Drive)
Borer (Translight Engine)
|
Dispersal field generators (Shielding)
Stealth generator
|
Ship armament patterns
Superheavy excavation beams
Light plasma lances
Heavy plasma lances
Superheavy plasma lances
Plasma beam emitters
Heavy plasma beam emitters
Heavy plasma cannons
|
Heavy plasma torpedo silos
