The CRS-class light cruiser^[2] is a capital warship classification within the Covenant Navy.

OverviewEdit

The CRS-class has been described  as resembling "luminous manta rays".^[3] and are essentially a smaller and weaker version of the CCS-class battlecruiser. The CRS-class and CCS-class  are almost identical from the outside, but one can distinguish them by the spikes hanging from the CCS-class battlecruiser bow.

Operational historyEdit

Several of these vessels were deployed and used over Reach during the Covenant's invasion of the planet.^[4] After the conclusion of the Human-Covenant war, the CRS-class forms the backbone of the Covenant Remnant which deployed many of them to Requiem during the years before the First Battle of Requiem.
