The Covenant Supercruiser was a classification of extremely powerful capital Covenant warships within 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 Supercruiser's shields, multiplying the destructive blast exponentially.
Weapons
The Covenant Supercarrier's weapon sytems seem limited, but extremely powerful. It's main cannon shoots a needle thin beam at lightspeed, able to cut through the hull armor of several UNSC ships at a time. First described as a type of sniping ship because of its combat tactics, its weapon can be described as similiar to the Beam Rifle. This weapon needs to charge over time, but once charged can unleash it's wrath with pinpoint accuracy.
