This is, perhaps, the Covenant's most serious disadvantage. While Humans are inferior technologically, they are still capable of learning and often improving on new technology while Covenant advances are significantly slower. While Covenant technology is far more advanced than human technology, the Covenant seem to be ignorant of how precise or powerful their technology can actually be. Their technology is based largely on mimicry and reverse-engineering of the leftover Forerunner artifacts they have discovered. Only the larger groups such as the Banished, Jul 'Mdama's Covenant and Sali 'Nyon's Covenant have assault carriers as their flagships.Many of the alien species conquered by the Covenant are conscripted into, or gradually become part of the alliance.Ĭovenant technology is repeatedly referred to as more imitative rather than innovative.
In the Covenant remnants, the flagships, at least in the smaller groups, tend to be cruisers or in the case of the Kig-Yar pirate queen and Vata 'Gajat's mercenary group, SDV-class heavy corvettes. In the second instance, the flotilla, again made up of corvettes aside from a single Covenant frigate, was a rogue faction. In one case, the flotilla, made up entirely of corvettes, belonged to the Silent Shadow and was used for their operations. In a couple of smaller flotillas the flagships were intrusion corvettes. However, in battle groups, the flagship may be a cruiser or, rarely, a destroyer. In the Covenant fleet, flagships tend to be CCS-class battlecruisers or CAS-class assault carriers in the typical fleet. In the post-war period the UNSC's overall flagship is considered to be the UNSC Infinity, an Infinity-class supercarrier and humanity's largest and most powerful ship.
Flagships in the UNSC tends to be cruisers or carriers, although, in smaller fleets, a frigate or destroyer may be the flagship.
