. . . "The Hall is a Covenant structure featured in Halo Wars. The Covenant Barracks is home to the Well-trained and numerous infantry of the Covenant Forces. Grunts lead by Elites, Jackals, and Hunters are trained here. The different races are housed separately according to their status in the caste system. Grunts, the lowest of the caste system performs many of the more demeaning tasks. The lone Jackals tend to only socialize amongst themselves, while the solitary Hunters communicate with each other via their collective consciousness. The Hall is built onto the Covenant citadel, and is where Covenant infantry are trained and upgraded, such as Unggoy Lances (four Unggoy, or Grunts, led by a single Sangheili, or a single Jiralhanae, depending on the leader chosen), Mgalekgolo pairs and Kig-Yar pairs. This is also where most Covenant infantry upgrades are researched, such as increased troop power and weapons. The Hall forms the core of the Covenant ground-attack forces, especially early in the game, when vehicles are sparse. It can be protected by the shield generator. This is also where unit upgrades can be found."@en . . . . . "The Hall is a Covenant structure featured in Halo Wars.
