{{Quote|Greetings, Commander. This is Celeste, your cockpit voice assistant, also known as COVAS, installed to provide systems information and analytical support throughout your journey. I'm issued as standard by the Pilots Federation in accordance with statute B7249 of the Interstellar Transit Charter. It should be noted that for insurance purposes, it is illegal to travel in most systems without the use of COVAS technology.|Celeste COVAS Livery preview}}

The '''Cockpit Voice-Activated System''', aka '''COVAS''', is a cockpit voice assistant installed as a standard system in all [[ship]]s. Its purpose is to provide system information and analytical support. It is issued by the [[Pilots Federation]] in accordance with statute B7249 of the Interstellar Transit Charter, and for insurance purposes it is illegal to travel in most systems without a COVAS.<ref>In-game Livery description</ref>

==Function==
{{Quote|The Cockpit Voice Assistant (COVAS) relays real-time information about your ship and your surroundings via your helmet, and is in essence your ship's 'voice'. The Pilots Federation has approved some new COVAS variations, giving Commanders new ways to personalise their flight experience. Each ship comes equipped with Verity and Victor COVAS options by default.|Frontier Store COVAS Celeste Description<ref>https://www.elitedangerous.com/store/product/cockpit-voice-assistant-celeste</ref>}}

COVAS primarily provides audio notifications for certain ship functions and statuses, such as the countdown to a [[hyperspace]] jump, deploying or retracting landing gear, [[Fuel Scoop|fuel scooping]], when another ship has initiated a scan, and when the ship is under attack.<ref name=":0" />

The COVAS of a [[ship]] can be changed at Starport Services in the [[livery]] customization section. The [[SRV]] and [[Ship-Launched Fighters|SLF]] COVAS can be changed in the SRV and SLF customization bay respectively.<ref name=":0">[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/401255-Content-Recap-Beyond-Chapter-One-Livestream-(23-01-2018)-Part-3-Recap Content Recap - Beyond Chapter One Livestream (23.01.2018) - Part 3 Recap]
