The Covenant Super Carrier[1], is an extremely powerful Carrier classification in the Covenant Navy. They are hypothesized to be the most massive and powerful warships in the Covenant armada known to date. Multiple Super Carriers of the Second Fleet of Homogeneous Clarity defended the massive space station of High Charity[2] and one such vessel served as the Flagship of the Combined Fleet of Righteous Purpose.[3][4]
Given the Prophets nearly god-like self image, it's surprising that they have not chosen these vessels to be their Flagships, instead opting for the somewhat smaller Assault Carriers. The reasoning for this could possibly be that either too few of them exist to be used simply as a means of extravagant transportation or that, during the multiple conflicts with the UNSC, all were destroyed including those that had been usurped by the Elites stationed near Joyous Exultation. It is also possible, though entirely speculation, that they are a last line of defense. This is somewhat unlikely though, as the Covenant see their battle against humanity as a foregone conclusion.
