The Covenant Stealth[1] Corvette was a small starship in the Covenant Navy.

Similar in design, if not implementation, to the UNSC's Prowler-class stealth vessels, the Covenant versions used active camouflage systems to render them imperceptible to UNSC sensors, and visually invisible.[2] It also possessed electronic countermeasures, able to interfere with the guidance systems of Archer missiles, and was able to gather intelligence.[3] One of these managed to survive for a time above Sigma Octanus IV, before it was rammed by the UNSC Iroquois.[4]
