The Covenant Supercruiser was a classification of Covenant warship that was among the most powerful capital ships in any of the Covenant Fleets and even in the Covenant Navy.
Background
Physical Characteristics and Armament
Its length of 3.5 kilometers was over three times that of the UNSC Marathon-class Cruiser.[1]
These ships were armed with at least 5 energy projector turrets. They were also durable enough to withstand one nuclear mine detonation, or even three MAC rounds and nearly five hundred Archer missiles.
Operational Use
One of these warships led the Covenant invasion Fleet during the the First Battle of Reach in August 2552, but was destroyed by the UNSC Pillar of Autumn. The Autumn launched a remote controlled Longsword armed with a Shiva missile under the Supercruisers shields, multiplying the destructive blast exponentially.
