The Covenant Summit.

The summit is a Covenant building featured in Halo Wars.

It constructs aircraft such as Banshees and Vampires and Engineers. All of the air-based vehicle upgrades are researched at the Summit. Unlike the UNSC UNSC airpad which requires the second tech level, the summit can be built at a tech level of zero, making an early 'Banshee rush' fairly easy. Like all buildings in Halo Wars, it takes the color of the player's team.

The summit is the Covenant equivalent of the UNSC airpad.
