The Audi Lunar Quattro on board the USCSS Covenant was a Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) used to navigate and assess the challenging and unknown terrain of a planet. Besides exploration and research support, the rover also patrolled the Covenant for unseen dangers. It operated alongside Faris when Lander One dispatched an exploration team on Planet 4.
