The covenant can be best described as an annoying thorn in Space-faring Humanity's side. Although the Covenant empire is large, they are too enthralled in their egos, to realise they are fighting a very small part of the Human empire, and because of how large it is, that the main UNSC reinforcements have not yet reached the outer colonies of Humanity. That might explain why Universe-spanning wars often last millenia.
Their technology is roughly on par with Human Tech, which I forgot to mention in "Homo Sapiens in space", is blaster based (you know lasers, like in Star Wars). Remote Covenant colonies on the other side of their empire (the ones not fighting humanity), often have very outdated technology, as seen in pic 2. Their more recent technology is much more advanced, as is Humanity's. What caught the covenant off guard is how quickly humanity can reverse engineer technology to figure out how it works ('cos we're bad*ss). This means Humanity countered their technology within years, with the covenant taking millenia to upgrade even basic equipment to in turn counter the counters to their technology. My version of the Covenant is run by the Elites, with that being the majoritary race, but it has a load of other species in it. The Covenant is thought to be dealing with Banished raids on their furthest colonies, but that is unconfirmed. Their weaponry is plasma based, and can therefore traverse light Human armours. The covenant is not a threat to be taken lightly, but isn't that serious of a threat to the overall Hunan empire.
