| |
| The '''''Kerel''-pattern assault carrier''' {{3Letter|CAS|assault carrier}} is a [[design pattern]] variation of [[assault carrier]] employed by the [[Covenant military|naval forces]] of the [[Covenant]].{{Ref/Reuse|WF}} The ''Kerel'' served the Covenant (and continues to serve its [[Covenant remnants|remnants]]) as a rarer configuration of the design, complementing the much more common {{Pattern|Syfon|assault carrier}}s. This modification is explicitly approved by the [[Hierarchs]].{{Ref/Book|Id=WF|HWF|Page=70-71}}
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Overview==
| | The '''''CAS''-class assault carrier'''<ref name="visual"/> is a large [[capital ship]] used by the [[Covenant]]. The ''CAS'' is designed for ship-to-ship combat, command and control of [[Covenant fleet|fleet]] operations, and support for ground occupation forces. Such vessels are typically deployed during invasions of worlds with high strategic value.<ref name="DD4">[http://halo.xbox.com/Content/assets/en-us/ONI/489872090930784032/93893-PRELIM.pdf '''Halo Waypoint''', ''Data Drop Four'']</ref> |
| ===Design details===
| |
| [[File:HWF Shadow of Intent.jpg|thumb|left|A cutaway of the carrier.]]
| |
| The ''Kerel''-pattern carrier can be primarily distinguished from the more common {{Pattern|Syfon|assault carrier|}} by its distinctive smooth hull and rear cowling, replacing the [[city]]-like structures present on the dorsal surfaces of the ''Syfon'' design. ''Kerel''-pattern vessels were rare [[Hierarch]]-approved variants of the ''Syfon''. The basic silhouette of the ship is otherwise similar to most other Covenant carriers, with a hooked prow, immense hangar segment and a thick neck section connecting them.{{Ref/Reuse|WF}} The rear cowling is shared with [[Unidentified Covenant assault carrier class|another unidentified]] carrier [[design pattern]]. The armoured hull is composed of [[nanolaminate]] battleplate,{{Ref/Reuse|SoICatalog}} with [[Energy shielding|energy shield]] emitters supporting it.{{Ref/Reuse|Mythos}} The ''Kerel'' has a length of {{Convert|5347|m|ft}}, a beam of {{Convert|2118|m|ft}}, and a height of {{Convert|746|m|ft}}.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}{{Ref/Reuse|WF}} This makes it one of the largest warship classes employed by the [[Covenant fleet]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. Although the carrier's keel length is inferior, its width and mass are more than twice as large as even the UNSC's prototype flagship {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, the largest vessel in human history. | |
|
| |
|
| The [[bridge]] of the ''Kerel'' is located in an armored command pod in the center of the carrier's neck,{{Ref/Reuse|WF}} situated inside an armoured pod protected by multiple redunant energy shield generator systems and inertial compensators to provide the command crew with the utmost protection from attack.{{Ref/Reuse|Mythos}} The [[blademaster]]'s yard runs along the outermost sides of the neck, and is used to train the ship's warrior complement in [[martial arts]]. The aft of the ship houses an elaborate shrine to the Forerunners known as the Nave of the Creators, which is kept in perfect condition by the ship's crew.{{Ref/Reuse|WF}} The top section of the ship is capable of separating from the lower-aft half thanks to the application of [[Modular Dispersal Technology]], which sees the ship constructed in a decentralised fashion as such as to ensure entire segments of the ship can be detached with a minimal loss of performance. When detached in this manner, the upper-front half of the ship retains its own [[repulsor engine]]s and [[Borer]] for [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] transportation. This feature is actually intended to be used in order to detach sections of the carrier that sustained extensive damage in order to increase the chances of saving what is left of the ship and its crew for future use.{{Ref/Site|Id=waypoint|URL=http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/theuniverse/tech/gallery/modular-dispersal-technology/e10ac7c3-932c-4b3a-91e5-3bf79c179b68?page=2|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Modular Dispersal Technology|D=14|M=03|Y=2011|LocalArchive=Archive:Halo Waypoint/2009 to 2014/Universe/Technology#Modular Dispersal Technology}}{{Ref/Reuse|Package}}{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}
| | ==Specifications== |
| | ===Superstructure and hull=== |
| | [[File:Mombasa Glassing.jpg|thumb|left|200px|A carrier glassing [[New Mombasa]].]] |
| | The ''CAS''-class has a length of 5,347 meters (17,540 ft) , a beam of 2,118 meters (6,950 ft), and a height of 700 meters (2,300 ft). This makes it the second largest ship of the line the Covenant navy employed throughout the [[Human-Covenant War]]. Although the CAS-class carrier's keel length is inferior, its width and volume are in the realm of twice as large as even the UNSC's prototype flagship {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, the largest vessel in human history. |
|
| |
|
| ===Propulsion===
| | The class' hull is comprised of nanolaminate plating; however, its greatest assets are its [[energy shielding|energy shields]], which are amongst the strongest in the [[Covenant fleet]]. During opening hours of the [[Battle of Earth]], the [[Prophet of Regret]]'s [[flagship]] ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' was able to penetrate Earth's orbital defense grid in spite of [[Cairo Station]] focusing fire on it.<ref name="Cairo"/> Furthermore, [[Rtas 'Vadum]] employed the tactic of ramming {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}}s during the [[Battle of Installation 00]] with no visible damage being inflicted upon [[Shadow of Intent|his flagship]].<ref name="Ark">'''Halo 3'''</ref> A further testament to this vessel's survivability is that it was selected by the Covenant alongside the much larger {{Class|CSO|supercarrier}} to serve as the [[Hierarchs]]' personal flagships when they were not aboard the also heavily shielded ''[[High Charity]]''.<ref name="DD4"/> Like most Covenant vessels, the command deck of the ''CAS'' is buried deep within the vessel's deck, allowing it to function even with the vessel taking tremendous damage. |
| For propulsion, assault carriers rely on large [[deuterium]]-[[tritium]] [[pinch fusion reactor]]s, housed in cavernous chambers,{{Ref/Level|Id=Cairo|H2|Cairo Station}} which power the ship's vital systems. The reactor is located in the centre of the ship, inside the upper hull.{{Ref/Reuse|WF}} As such, and when split into multiple components when Modularly Dispersed, the reactor is retained in the upper hull - leaving the lower component completely without power.{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}}{{Ref/Reuse|Package}} as well as the three aft-mounted ''Raphyus''-pattern [[repulsor engine]]s that propel the ship, capable of operating in a vacuum or in an atmospheric environment. For superluminal travel, a ''Primus''-pattern [[borer]] (equivalent to a CODEN Series IV [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]]) is installed.{{Ref/Reuse|WF}}
| |
|
| |
|
| The vessel is propelled by three massive engine units, and possess, like all Covenant vessels, the ability to make pinpoint slipspace jumps in atmosphere. As shown in the Battle of Earth, such slipspace jumps cause massive discharges of [[EMP]], rivaling those set off by nuclear devices.{{Ref/Level|H3ODST|Prepare to Drop}} | | [[File:Shadow_of_Intent_bridge.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The bridge of an assault carrier.]] |
| | Assault carriers, like the majority of Covenant ships, are characterized by their bulbous, whale-like front, sleek silhouette and pale white-blue hull. However, they also tend to be characterized by their unique swollen and bulbous "hooked" bow section that is frequently characterized to be similar to the head of a whale and would (theoretically) be a massive weakness as the ship could be blown in half comparatively easily, given its shields were down. Rather than possessing multiple smaller hangar bays, like smaller cruisers, assault carriers use a single, gargantuan hangar bay for storage of fighters, dropships, boarding craft and small capital ships, at least 500 meters long, 320 meters wide and 120 meters high. There is a second hangar bay visible, near the stern of the carrier, above the main engines.<ref name="Ark"/> |
|
| |
|
| ===Armaments===
| | The assault carrier is also fitted with [[Modular Dispersal Technology]], giving it the ability to completely detach sections of its outer hull as well as whole corridors, as seen during [[Operation: WARM BLANKET]]. They can also separate into two distinct sections which leaves the rear section (with the main engines) behind and allows the fore-section to move away with previously hidden engines, the fore section, and likely the rear, are still slipspace-capable. Unlike its unorthodox means of use by [[Luro 'Taralumee|the Fleet Master]] in an attempt to disperse the advancing SPARTAN forces, the dispersal feature is actually intended to be used in order to detach sections of the carrier that sustained extensive damage in order to increase the chances of saving what is left of the ship and its crew for future use. |
| Not all assault carriers are created equally - while the ''Kerel''{{'}}s most common listed weapons configuration boasts an identical armament loadout to its more common ''Syfon'' counterpart, individual ships can nonetheless display a large variety in capabilities.{{Ref/Twitter|Halo|421820788539260929|Halo|Quote=And Jul's ship is certainly a powerful example of Covenant/former-Covenant Assault Carriers but there's quite a...|D=23|M=01|Y=2023}}{{Ref/Twitter|Halo|421820856642179072|Halo|Quote=bit of variety in that ship class. Not all Assault Carriers are created equally.|D=23|M=01|Y=2023}} The configuration of weapons employed by the ''Kerel''-pattern, ''Shadow of Intent'', is listed as the following:
| |
|
| |
|
| The ship's primary weapon is an [[Excavation beam|''Infernus''-pattern excavation beam]], the same model of excavation beam as that fitted on the much smaller {{Pattern|Sinaris|heavy destroyer}}s.{{Ref/Reuse|WF}} This weapon is mounted on the vessel's prow, and is used for artifact excavation and military compliance operations.{{Ref/Reuse|Mythos}} Augmenting this weapon are an additional two [[Plasma lance|''Urpeon''-pattern plasma lances]] for heavy anti-ship work.{{Ref/Reuse|WF}} The plasma lances are located on the dorsal surface of the ship, inside a teardrop-shaped emitter linked directly to the central pinch fusion reactor.{{Ref/Reuse|Mythos}}{{Ref/Reuse|Cairo}}
| | ===Propulsion=== |
| | For propulsion, assault carriers rely on large [[deuterium]]-[[tritium]] [[pinch fusion reactor]]s, housed in cavernous chambers,<ref name="Cairo"/> which power the ship's vital systems, as well as the three aft-mounted [[repulsor engine]]s that propel the ship, capable of operating in a vacuum or in an atmospheric environment. They also employ non-reactive gravity drives for standard maneuvering and hovering above the surface of a planet, resisting its gravity. |
|
| |
|
| The class is additionally fitted with eight [[Plasma beam emitter|''Luxor''-pattern heavy plasma beam emitters]] and twenty-four [[Plasma torpedo|''Mictix''-pattern heavy plasma torpedo]] silos, alongside an array of 700 [[Pulse laser turret|''Ferriel''-pattern pulse laser]] turrets.{{Ref/Reuse|WF}} Seven [[plasma cannon]]s line the horizontal trench running across the ship's prow. These weapons can be fired individually or combined to fire their energy in one devastating mass - though require the ship's shields to be disabled to fire.{{Ref/Reuse|SoI}} The plasma cannons are likely the ''Luxor'' plasma beams or, more likely, the ''Mictix'' plasma torpedo silos, based on their usage during the [[Ambush at Duraan]].{{Ref/Reuse|SoI}} | | The vessel is propelled by three massive engine units, and possess, like all Covenant vessels, the ability to make pinpoint slipspace jumps in atmosphere. As shown in the Battle of Earth, such slipspace jumps cause massive discharges of [[EMP]], rivaling those set off by nuclear devices.<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level, ''[[Prepare to Drop]]''</ref> |

| ===Crew and complement=== | | ===Crew and complement=== |
| [[File:H4 Prologue CAS Carrier.jpg|thumb|250px|A carrier discharging its assault aircraft over a human city.]]
| | The ''CAS''-class' exact crew size and complement are unknown, however its size and combat records suggest a crew of thousands. A single ''CAS''-class assault carrier is capable of deploying a military force sizable enough to secure an entire 26th century city.<ref name="Metropolis"/> The class' cavernous main hangar has the capacity of carrying hundreds of [[Type-31 Seraph|Seraph multirole fighters]], [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshee attack craft]], [[Type-52 Phantom]] and [[Type-25 Spirit]] dropships, and [[Covenant boarding craft|boarding craft]]. |
| ''Kerel''-pattern carriers are capable of operation with a crew of as few as two hundred [[Superior]]s - even in dire circumstances such as those faced by the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] during the [[Blooding Years]].{{Ref/Reuse|WF}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=SoI|HSoI}} The hooked prow's endmost section contains living and entertainment quarters for the ship's permanent crew. Recreational facilities include habitat domes and hunting preserves, similar in nature to those of the {{Pattern|Mjern|agricultural support ship}}.{{Ref/Reuse|Mythos}} | |
| | |
| When under ideal operating circumstances, a carrier can boast a troop complement of 40,000 warriors, with facilities such as the blademaster's yard for on-board training and recreation. Supplementing the troop complement is an armada of ground vehicles including three [[Scarab]] quadruped [[excavator]]s, 196 [[Wraith]] tanks and 700 [[Ghost]] scout bikes. 44 [[Shadow]] troop transports are additionally embarked aboard the carrier for groundside troop movement.{{Ref/Reuse|WF}}
| |
| | |
| Alongside the ground complement, ''Kerel''-pattern carriers house a massive air wing of both atmospheric and [[Space fighter|exoatmospheric strikecraft]]. Eight [[hangar bay]]s line the sides of the ship's lower section, flanking the [[gravity lift]]. These hangars have an additional large forward entrance,{{Ref/Reuse|Mythos}} and their cavernous nature is such that they are capable of housing whole smaller warships such as [[UNSC frigate]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Ark}} The ship's air and deployment wing includes 250 [[Covenant drop pod|drop pods]], 20 {{Pattern|R'sisho|Tick}}s and 44 [[Spirit]] or [[Phantom]] [[dropship]]s for transport - for use when the massive [[gravity lift]] on the ship is unavailable. Escorting these troop transports are 600 [[Banshee]] ground attack flyers, alongside 192 of their {{Pattern|Elsedda|Banshee|}} "space Banshee" cousins for exoatmospheric intercept. 64 [[Seraph]] fighters supplement this number for heavier intercept and limited anti-ship capability.{{Ref/Reuse|WF}}
| |
|
| |
|
| In addition to their combat complements, carriers also stock a number of [[Ren]] transport shuttles for logistics and personnel transportation.{{Ref/Reuse|Package}}
| | Supplementing their considerable infantry detachments, each assault carrier holds large fleets of [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghosts]] and [[Type-26 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraiths]], along with a number of [[Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform|Scarabs]]. In [[2552#November|November 2552]], the UNSC frigate ''[[UNSC Forward Unto Dawn|Forward Unto Dawn]]'' docked inside the launch bay of ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'', an assault carrier, demonstrating the immense size of the class.<ref name="Floodgate">'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level, ''[[Floodgate]]''</ref> |
|
| |
|
| ===Usage===
| | Assault carriers are often used as [[flagship]]s, leading [[Covenant fleet]]s into battle. Though designed for planetary combat, they also excel at ship-to-ship combat, possessing multiple [[pulse laser turret|pulse laser]] batteries, [[plasma turret]]s, and at least one [[energy projector]].<ref name="Cairo">'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Cairo Station (level)|Cairo Station]]''</ref> Along with the larger ''CSO''-class supercarrier, the ''CAS'' is designated a "''Class-Five'' flagship carrier" by the UNSC due to its common use at the center of fleets.<ref name="DD4"/> |
| In the [[Covenant ship classification system|starship classification system]], the ''Kerel''-pattern is considered a part of the [[Examiner (ship type)|examiner]] category of vessels.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
| |
|
| |
|
| Within the [[Three-letter ship classification system|hull classifications]] of Covenant ships undertaken by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]], the ''Kerel'' is one of two warships designated the CAS-class assault carrier - alongside its more common cousin the {{Pattern|Syfon|assault carrier|}}.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} The "S", for ''Salvation'', denotes that the ''CAS''-class assault carrier is a dedicated [[warship]].{{Ref/Site|Id=Have S'moa|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-have-s-moa|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Have S'moa|D=30|M=10|Y=2021}} Along with the Covenant's other [[Covenant assault carrier|assault carriers]] and [[Covenant supercarrier|supercarriers]], the ''Kerel''-pattern assault carrier was designated a Class-Five flagship carrier by the [[United Nations Space Command]] due to their use as a [[flagship]] of Covenant fleets.{{Ref/Generic|Id=DD4|[[Data Drop|Data Drop 4]]}}
| | Given the similar design and purpose of the ''CAS'' to the ''CSO''-class supercarrier it is possible that light cruisers may even be capable of using the ''CAS'' as a refueling depot in the absence of repair and resupply stations like ''[[Unyielding Hierophant]]''. Like many vessels in the Covenant fleet the vessel was capable of rapidly deploying Covenant soldiers to the front with the use of [[Covenant drop pod|orbital insertion pods]]. Like most Covenant ships, they also possess [[gravity lift]]s, used for ferrying supplies, personnel, and vehicles from the ship and to a planet's surface.<ref name="Metropolis">'''Halo 2''', campaign level, ''[[Metropolis]]''</ref><ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level, ''[[Uplift Reserve (level)|Uplift Reserve]]''</ref> |

| |
|
| ''Kerel''-pattern ships are considered effective when used in fleet command and offensive [[space warfare]] roles. This puts them in contrast with the {{Pattern|Ruma|light carrier}} and {{Pattern|Sh'wada|supercarrier}}, which are both considered more useful in force deployment roles than in combat.They generally serve as the primary flagship of most fleets, working as the fleet command centre and the seat of the armada's [[fleetmaster]] or [[Supreme Commander]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} | | ===Armament=== |
| | As some of the largest ships in the Covenant fleet, the ''CAS''-class are favored as flagships by both Sangheili commanders and Prophet Hierarchs. As well as their exemplary shielding the vessel is also presumably amongst the most heavily armed in the Covenant. Assault carriers possess multiple [[energy projector]]s on its ventral and dorsal surfaces which are powerful enough to cut through UNSC capital ships.<ref name="Cairo"/> They also possess multiple [[pulse laser turret]]s, which are used for intercepting enemy missiles and fighters, and [[plasma turret|plasma torpedoes]] for engaging in ship-to-ship combat and assaulting planetary defenses.<ref name="Ark"/> There is also some variety within the assault carrier class; individual assault carriers sometimes possess differing capabilities in terms of defenses and armament.<ref>[https://twitter.com/HaloArchive/status/420738117885112321 '''Twitter''': ''@HaloWaypoint It's been said that...'']</ref> |
|
| |
|
| ==Ships of the line==
| | Throughout the war the ''CAS'' proved to be superior to human vessels in both durability and firepower, with the vessel being capable of easily destroying the much vaunted {{Class|Marathon|heavy cruiser}} with a single blast of its dorsal energy projector. |

| The ''Kerel''-pattern assault carrier had entered service at least by circa [[2135]].{{Ref/Reuse|WF}} | | The [[Battle of Bliss]] saw the first known deployment of the ''CAS''-class assault carrier during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. Five of these vessels alongside the smaller but more numerous {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}}s and {{Class|CPV|heavy destroyer}}s attacked and [[glassing|glassed]] the world resulting in the deaths of all five hundred million citizens of [[Bliss]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', ''[[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]]''</ref> Over the next two decades of conflict the assault carrier would grow to be known as one of the most fearful inspiring vessels in the Covenant armada. |

| During the [[Battle for Earth|deep and bloody siege of Earth]] that was still continuing, numerous assault carriers were assigned within multiple Covenant reinforcement fleets to complete the destruction of humanity's last and most important and defended stronghold.{{Ref/Comic|Id=HUI4|HU|Issue=4}} Near the end of the [[Battle of Mombasa]], at least three assault carriers that were part of a large [[Truth's fleet|Jiralhanae excavation fleet]] sent by the [[Prophet of Truth]] joined the remaining battlecruisers of the Fleet of Sacred Consecration in finishing the glassing of [[Mombasa]] and excavating the [[Portal at Voi]].{{Ref/Level|Id=Coastal Highway|ODST|Coastal Highway}} One, having exited slipspace nearby to begin glassing operations, nearly killed [[Alpha-Nine]] as they escaped in a hijacked [[Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|Phantom]].{{Ref/Reuse|Coastal Highway}} Near the end of the Battle for Earth, at least a few of survived carriers retreated with [[Anodyne Spirit|Truth's ship]] and his fleet through the portal to the Ark.{{Ref/Level|Id=The Storm|H3|The Storm}}
| | After the destruction of the {{Class|CSO|supercarrier}} ''[[Long Night of Solace]]'' at least three such vessels led the Covenant reinforcement fleet to assault the planet [[Reach]]. During the ensuing [[Fall of Reach]] these vessels alongside hundreds of others would lead to the destruction of humanity's largest and most well defended colony. At least one assault carrier was present at the [[Battle of Tribute]].<ref>'''Halo 4''', multiplayer map, ''[[Landfall (level)|Landfall]]'' - evacuation alert messages</ref> |

| ''Kerel''-pattern carriers were employed by the various [[Ministry|ministries]] of the [[Covenant]], during the empire's reign. Following the empire's dissolution, ''Kerel''-pattern carriers fell into the hands of the [[Covenant remnants|imperial remnant]] warlords. | |
| ====Covenant====
| |
| *[[Fleet of Particular Justice]]
| |
| **''[[Seeker of Truth]]''
| |
| *[[Third Fleet of Glorious Consequence]]
| |
| **''[[Resplendent Fervor]]''
| |
| *[[Truth's fleet]]
| |
| **Dozens of ''Kerel''-pattern assault carriers.
| |
| *Due to their huge resource investment, nearly all ''Kerel''-pattern vessels were under the control of the Covenant prior to the empire's collapse. As such, all ships listed in the remnant listings below were likely a part of the Covenant fleet prior to its dissolution.

| ==Production notes== | | ==Trivia== |
| ''Kerel''-pattern assault carriers were first introduced into the series as the assault carrier design featured in ''[[Halo 2]]'' and ''[[Halo 3]]'' - then-known by the name of the CAS-class assault carrier. The design remained relatively consistent until the release of the ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'' in [[2014]], with the [[Blur Studio]] cutscenes depicting ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' differently. The two designs were later canonised in [[2017]]'s ''[[Halo: Warfleet – An Illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo]]'' as two individual [[design pattern]]s of Covenant carrier that serve alongside one another in the Covenant fleet.
| | {{Linkbox|gallery=yes|gallerypage=Images of Covenant assault carriers}} |
| | *An [[Early Halo 2 script|early draft]] of ''[[Halo 2]]'' was intended to feature a level tentatively called ''[[Covenant Ship|Covenant ship]]'', in which John-117 would board an assault carrier and destroy it from within.<ref>''[[Halo 3 Legendary Edition]]'' developer commentary</ref> |
| | *In the [[Wikipedia:United States Navy|modern US Navy]], the term "assault carrier" refers to the [[Wikipedia:Amphibious assault ship|Amphibious Assault Ship]], which is used to transport troops over water and offload them via hovercraft or helicopter. |
| | *In ''Halo 2'', Regret's carrier has visible structures on the surface above the engines. However, in ''Halo 3: ODST'', these structures are not visible, but are rather obscured or replaced by what seems to be a second hangar bay. |
| | *In ''Halo: Reach'', assault carriers and [[CSO-class supercarrier|supercarriers]] share the same model in order to save in-game resources. This is why the assault carriers appear to be colored purple in the ending [[cutscene]] of the campaign level ''[[Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace]]''. |
