Covenant Cruiser:
http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/userpics/16173/covenantcrusier.JPG
This is the smallest ship in the covenant armada but do not be fooled. It packs quite a punch with plasma torpedoes, that can rip through any human ship and its energy shields can absorb the impact of a direct MAC round. Suplies are sent into the ship through a gravity lift.
Crew:100
Cargo:1500 soldiers,40 Wraith tanks, 30 banshees, 20 ghosts, 300 tons worth of supplies
Armament: 10Anti matter charges, 30 pulse laser turrets, 60 Plasma torpedoes
Length:5000 m
Width:2000 m
Cost:1,500,000,000 USD
###############################################
Small Arms:
###############################################
Plasma Pistol
http://www.microsoft.com/games/halo/IMG/weapons_plasmapistol.jpg
The Plasma Pistol is a semi-automatic directed energy weapon. If you pull and hold the weapon's trigger it may become overcharged; when you release the trigger the overcharged bolt is launched. After the bolt is launched the weapon temporarily stops functioning and it dumps waste heat. Use of the over-charge capability rapidly depletes the weapon's power core. We currently do not understand how to replace or re-charge a power core.
Core power output:
100-150 Kv @ 2-3 dA
Overcharge power output:
1.5 Mv @ 2-3 dA
Cost:100 USD
Plasma Rifle:
http://www.microsoft.com/games/halo/IMG/weapons_plasmarifle.jpg
The Plasma Rifle is a directed energy weapon. It is capable of either semiautomatic or automatic fire. Continuous rapid fire overheats the weapon; this in turn depletes the weapon's power core. We currently do not understand how to replace or recharge a power core.
Core power output:
100-150 Kv @ 2-3 dA
Rate of Fire:
420 to 600 RD/MIN
200 USD
Needler
http://www.microsoft.com/games/Halo/IMG/weapons_needler.jpg
The Needler is a magazine-fed weapon capable of automatic fire. Its projectiles penetrate soft targets no matter what the angle of impact. They ricochet off hard surfaces at oblique angles, however, and are always deflected by energy fields, the only exceptions to this being the shields generated by the MJOLNIR battle suit and the Elite's combat armor. The composition and energy signature of its projectile is classified. The manner in which the projectiles home in on their target is also keeped under wraps.
Cost:600 USD
Covenant Sniper Rifle:
http://www.xblgamers.com/screens/Halo2/x03%20screen.jpg
Not much is known about this rifle since its production is mostly kept under the constant eyes of the prophets.
Cost:500 USD
###############################################
Large Arms
###############################################
Fuel Rod Gun
http://www.microsoft.com/games/halo/IMG/weapons_fuelrodgun.jpg
The Fuel Rod Gun is a single-shot repeating ballistic weapon employed by the Covenant. Its rounds detonate on impact, creating enough force to invert smaller vehicles. The source of the rounds is classified. The dangers associated with prolonged exposure to this weapon may cause cancer and tumors.
Cost:1500 USD
Shade Stationary gun
http://nikon.bungie.org/screenshots/xboxign.0901/halomag3.jpg
These Covenant gun turrets can be found scattered around the fields of combat. They can be used by either race, or uprooted and thrown around by nearby explosions.
Cost:20,000 USD
###############################################
Light Land Vehicles:
###############################################
Ghost light recon vehicle
http://www.microsoft.com/games/halo/IMG/vehicles_ghost.jpg
The Ghost is the Covenant's standard reconnaissance and rapid attack vehicle. It is equipped with two of what are now accepted as the standard light vehicle mounted weapons: a directed energy weapon capable of projecting a bolt of super-heated plasma in the 100-250kW range. While the vehicle is fast and maeuverable, the driver is virtually unprotected.
Crew: 1
Weight: 3.25 tons
Armament: Two Plasma Cannons (100-250 KW range)
Cost:480,000 USD
Shadow
http://www.xboxusersgroup.com/photopost/data/600/13805covenant_shadow_thumb.gif
This is the covenant warthog in some sense. It has a mounted shade gun and can carry more than a warthog can. It is also 20% faster than a warthog. It is a force to be reckoned with.
Cargo:2(not including driver or gunner)
Armament:1 shade gun
Cost:40,000 USD
###############################################
Light Air vehicles
###############################################
Banshee attack aircraft
http://www.microsoft.com/games/halo/IMG/vehicles_banshee.jpg
The Banshee is the Covenant's standard ground assault aircraft. It is very fast, extremely maneuverable, and capable of hovering. It has two weapon pods mounted to either side of the fuselage. Both of these pods contain a light plasma cannon and a fuel rod cannon. Though small arms fire may disrupt or disable the pilot, only heavy weapons are capable of inflicting damage or destroying the vehicle.
Crew: 1
Weight: 2.25 tons
Armament: Two Plasma Cannons (100-250 kW range)
Secondary Weapon: Two Fuel Rod Cannons
Cost:500,000 USD
Covenant Dropship:
http://nikon.bungie.org/screenshots/e32k1/covdrop.jpg
This is the Covenant transport vehicle. Troops ride in the two large pods, and vehicles can be carried by a sort of forcefield in the middle. The vehicle is flying to the left in this image.
Cargo:12
Armament:1 Shade gun
Cost(Armed):2,020,000 USD
Cost(Unarmed):2,000,000
Phantom Dropship
http://3dap.com/halo/images/vehicles/phantom.gif
This is the "heavy" alternative to the normal covenant dropship. It's size makes it less manuverable but has a powerful shade gun mounted on the underside.
Armament:1 larger shade gun
Cargo:30
Cost 1,000,000 USD
###############################################
Armor
###############################################
Wraith Motar Tank

This large piece of artillery can hurl plasma rounds up to 20 miles away. Basicly, it is a Wraith Tank but 10 times bigger.
Armament:60 Plasma rounds
Crew:8
Cost 500,000,000 USD
###############################################
Shields
###############################################
Energy shield
http://www.microsoft.com/games/halo/IMG/enemies_jackal.jpg
This shield can reflect all bullets except anti material/armor piercing rounds. Small caliber rounds are useless.
