Description
The Alien Covenant Lifter allocated to the USCSS Covenant was a workmanlike ship designed to lift and lug cargo and never meant for deep space travel. However, after some of the Covenant's crew were attacked while surveying the surface of a planet, the Lifter had to be employed as a last resort lifeboat. It completed a rough descent to the planet and an alien was crushed in the jaws of its crane, before it returned the surviving members of the crew to their vessel.
