What do you guys think about their Strengths and Weaknesses?

Any thoughts? I would believe it can be a Genome Codex from the Forerunners, whom the Covenant are desperately hunting for as means of fulfillment of the Hierarch's ancient prophecy of the Great Journey.

Pros: If successfully obtained then all of the alien species within the Covenant would be endowed with Forerunner cells coursing through their bodies and as well as enabling the next new generation of Covenant soldiers of becoming part of the ancient Forerunner Ecumene and leading them to the path of Ascension and Enlightment.

Cons: The Codex doesn't make the religious alien collective a faction of super-soldiers but instead enables the Covenant to fully use Forerunner technology without the use of humans as means of activating the Halo Array. But another problem, thanks to the selfishness of the Hierarchs, its obvious that the San'Shyuum would want all of the Forerunner tech to themselves and the Covenant would eventually be split apart.

Heck you what my ideal fan-game is Halo: Battlefront and in on the Covenant campaign you are assigned to lead Covenant troops into hunting artifacts and machinations of Forerunner technology, and eventually a lone Covenant Elite got his hands a biological Genome Codex from a fossilized Forerunner Promethean that died years ago and immediately represent it to Hierarchs as great victory for your successful campaign of commanding the Covenant Navy in your hands.
