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.[1]
The summit is the Covenant equivalent of the UNSC airpad.
