Covenant stealth ship
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
This stealth ship is a type of small intelligence-gathering starship used by the Covenant.[1]
Overview
The stealth ship is used to infiltrate a planet's defenses for reconnaissance, making way for larger invasion forces. Despite its limited weaponry and defenses, the craft uses active camouflage systems to render it imperceptible to UNSC sensors, and visually invisible.[1] It also possessed electronic countermeasures, which are able to interfere with the guidance systems of Archer missiles.[1]
Operational history
Planetside forces transmitted data from a Forerunner artifact to a stealth craft of this type during the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV, but the ship was eventually rammed and destroyed by the Template:UNSCship.[2]
Production notes
The Halo Encyclopedia erroneously identified this stealth ship as a DAV-class light corvette,[3] an error which was carried on by Halo: Fall of Reach - Covenant, in which the stealth ship's appearance closely matches the light corvette's length instead of the ship's original description in the novel Halo: The Fall of Reach.
