The ''RCS''-class armored cruiser was first commissioned when [[Covenant]] [[energy shielding]] technology was far more limited. An older class of [[cruiser]], the class lacked both the firepower and robustness of the later {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}}.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} The armored cruiser's primary roles are patrol and planetary occupation. Measuring 2,000 meters long, 1,000 meters wide, and 296 meters tall, it is the second-largest known cruiser of the former [[Covenant fleet]], overshadowed only by the {{Pattern|Varric|heavy cruiser}}. Armed with [[plasma torpedo]] turrets, [[pulse laser]] point-defense cannons, and a ventral [[energy projector]], it is also outfitted with a stasis enfolder system;{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} this technology is presumably a much larger version of the [[stasis cannon]] used by the {{Pattern|Bkowe'nei|Vampire}}.<ref>'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 200''</ref> | The ''RCS''-class armored cruiser was first commissioned when [[Covenant]] [[energy shielding]] technology was far more limited.
