The '''Covenant supercarrier'''<ref>'''''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''''', ''page 236''</ref> was a heavy warship classification within the [[Covenant Navy]].
 
Multiple supercarriers of the ''[[Second Fleet of Homogeneous Clarity]]'' defended the massive space station of ''[[High Charity]]''<ref>'''''[[Halo: First Strike]]''''', ''page 338''</ref> and one such vessel served as the [[flagship]] of the ''[[Combined Fleet of Righteous Purpose]]''.<ref>'''''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''''', ''page 236''</ref><ref>'''''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''''', ''page 239''</ref> During the [[Fall of Reach]], ''[[Long Night of Solace]]'', a supercarrier, destroyed the {{UNSCship|Grafton}} and began deploying numerous ground assets to the surface of [[Reach]]. During [[Operation: UPPERCUT]], [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN]] [[Jorge-052]] transported an improvised [[Slipstream Space|Slipspace]] bomb toward ''Long Night of Solace'' aboard the ''[[Ardent Prayer]]'', a [[Covenant corvette]], while [[SPARTAN-B312]] locked course with the Supercarrier. After [[SPARTAN-B312]] was jettisoned from the hangar, Jorge proceeded to manually detonate the bomb, destroying both the corvette and the supercarrier at the cost of his own life.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', level ''[[Tip of the Spear]]''</ref><ref>'''Halo: Reach''', level ''[[Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace]]''</ref> Due to the size of these supercarriers, hundred of thousands of Covenant would have been killed in the process.
 
==Description==
Overall, the supercarrier is an extremely large and well-equipped capital ship, easily dwarfing most other Covenant starship classes, even the assault carrier. The vessel looks nearly identical to the [[Covenant assault carrier]], as it is comprised of several bulbous sections and a hook-like prow.
