SDV-class heavy corvette

Covenant Corvette

The Covenant corvette is a light capital warship classification in the Covenant Navy.

Operational history
Several Covenant corvettes were present during the Fall of Reach. At least one of these corvettes, Ardent Prayer, was in the planet's orbit when Operation: UPPERCUT commenced. As the vessel's communications were being jammed by the UNSC, it was engaged by the, which was assisted by several Sabre fighters, including one piloted by SPARTAN-B312 and Jorge-052. The corvette was destroyed by the Slipspace Bomb and took the Supercarrier with it thanks to the trap. Another corvette attacked Sword Base but retreated when its forces were driven off or destroyed. As it left, the corvette was blasted through the middle with a MAC round and sank in a nearby lake.

Other Covenant corvettes took part in the ground battle on the planet. At least three such corvettes were present during the occupation and destruction of the city of New Alexandria. One took part in the destruction of civilan transports, but was heavily damaged by missile batteries, apparently disabling its weapons and allowing the other transports to escape.
