Covenant Factory
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

The Factory is a Covenant structure featured in Halo Wars.
The factory is where the player can build Ghosts, Choppers, Wraiths and Locusts. All the land-based vehicle upgrades are researched in the Factory as well.
The Covenant are able to build the factory from the beginning of the game, without needing any upgrades on the Citadel first.[1] It is not that important and should be built second last to the summit. Although it may look important a firm edge in technology and shield plus soldiers will give you the ability to defeat the opposing enemy easily. The vehicles built here are prone to an air attack. Like the Covenant Hall and Summit, it costs 150 resources and requires no tech level.
The UNSC equivalent is the Vehicle Depot.
