Destroyer: Fast moving melee ship. Effective against Human Cruisers because of its close range.
AADestroyer: Fires explosive plasma bolts into the air.

NEW BUILDING: Covenant StarYard
The StarYard behaves similarly to the UNSC Fleet Command, in that it constructs Covenant Capital Ships(CCS), except all CCS are protected by powerful energy shields.
Covenant Frigate: The Covenant Frigate uses Pulse Lasers to destroy Fighters, Bombers, and lightly armoured vehicles/Infantry. It is much less effective against other Capital Ships, heavily armoured vehicles, and buildings.
Covenant Destroyer: The Covenant Destroyer fires target-tracking Plasma Torpedoes. Plasma Torpedoes are less damaging than MAC rounds, but are more likely to hit because of their tracking ability, and have a slightly higher rate of fire.
Covenant Assault Carrier: The Covenant Assault Carrier is equitable to the UNSC Cruiser. It fires Plasma Torpedoes from several turrets, giving it a higher rate of fire than the Destroyer.
Mech Factory:
Scout: Ghost, tougher than standard Scouts, and does more damage.
Strike Mech: Shadow
Heavy Strike Mech: Spectre
Mech Destroyer: Hunter, has a large splash damage radius and does more damage to troopers. Slow, but tougher than standard Mech Destroyers.
