Description: The CRS-class light cruiser is a capital warship classification within the Covenant Navy.
Overview
The CRS-class has been described as resembling "luminous manta rays". 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, distinguishable only by their difference in size and coloration.
Operational history
The first UNSC encounter with the CRS-class light cruiser was during the Battle of Chi Ceti in 2525. The ship inflicted heavy damage on the UNSC Commonwealth before being destroyed by a team of SPARTAN-IIs. Several of these vessels were deployed and used over Reach during the Covenant's invasion of the planet. After the conclusion of the Human-Covenant war, the CRS-class formed the backbone of the Covenant Remnant Fleet which deployed huge numbers of them to Requiem during the years before the First Battle of Requiem.
