Template:Ship Class Infobox The CSO-class supercarrier[1][2] is one of the largest vessels of the Covenant Navy, primarily designed for command and control duties for the fleet, as well as support for occupation forces.

Overview

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 CAS-class assault carrier, as it is comprised of several bulbous sections and a hook-like prow.

Multiple supercarriers of the Second Fleet of Homogeneous Clarity defended the massive space station of High Charity[3] and one such vessel served as the flagship of the Combined Fleet of Righteous Purpose.[4][5] During the Fall of Reach, Long Night of Solace, a supercarrier, destroyed the Template:UNSCship and began deploying numerous ground assets to the surface of Reach.

During Operation: UPPER CUT, Jorge-052 transported an improvised slipspace bomb toward Long Night of Solace aboard Ardent Prayer, a Covenant corvette, while SPARTAN-B312 locked course with the supercarrier. After SPARTAN-B312 was jettisoned from the hangar, Jorge manually detonated the bomb, destroying both the corvette and the supercarrier at the cost of his own life.[6][7]
