Covenant Bomb

The Covenant Bomb was a type of large tactical ordnance. They were the counterpart to the UNSC's tactical Nuclear weapons.

History

These bombs were used during the Battle of Earth to assault the Orbital Defense Platforms. There were several boarding parties which consisted of many Elites, Grunts, and Drones. The Boarding parties delivered the ordnance and destroyed Athens Station and Malta Station. The bomb that was on Cairo Station was secured by John-117 and Cortana. The Spartan performed a micro-gravity maneuver to deliver the device to a Covenant Assault Carrier with shields down and a 'hole' created by a pair of Longswords. The chief entered the hole and detonated the bomb in the core resulting the destruction of the assault carrier.[1]

Appearance

The Covenant bomb's appearance is of a long bulbous shape with many spikes protruding from it. It has a central control hub located at the top of the bomb.

Trivia

  • The bomb's appearance looks like a present-day naval mine (sea mine)
  • The bomb was not originally going to be included in Halo 2, instead there would be a level were the Master Chief would board the Covenant Assault Carrier and destroy it from within, but due to deadlines, it was cut and Bungie decided to add the bomb. In this level .
