The Summit is a Covenant structure featured in Halo Wars. It is the base of the Covenant Air Force and so constructs aircraft, and is built on to the Covenant citadel. In addition to building Banshees, Vampires, and Engineers, all of the Covenant's air-based vehicle upgrades are researched at the Summit. These upgrades are made possible by prerequisite upgrades researched at the temple and citadel. Unlike the UNSC Air Pad which requires the second tech level, the Summit can be built at a tech level of zero, making an early Banshee rush fairly easy. Like all buildings in Halo Wars, it will take the color of the player's intended team.
