The Covenant Cruiser[1] is a classification of a heavy-tonnage Covenant starship. 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, laterally-mounted pulse lasers[2], but lack a compliment of supplementary Seraph-class starfighters.
Appearances
- Six Covenant cruisers accompanied the Covenant flagship Ascendant Justice on a reconnaisance mission to the ruins of Alpha Halo after its destruction by U.N.S.C. forces. One cruiser had one of its five plasma turrets destroyed by the Master Chief, operating a C709 Longsword starfighter. After the Master Chief and a group of U.N.S.C. ground forces were able to hijack the flagship, one cruiser jumped to Slipspace to alert Covenant forces of the destruction of Alpha Halo and U.N.S.C. activity in the area.
