This '''unidentified warship class''' is one of the most powerful vessels used by the [[Covenant]]. The vessel has three times the mass of a {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}}<ref name="mass">'''Halo: The Fall of Reach Definitive Edition''', ''page 376''</ref> and also three times the size of a typical [[UNSC cruiser]], and it is large enough to stand out among a fleet containing hundreds of ships. It is armed with a prow-mounted turret containing five [[energy projector]]s, a configuration that had not been witnessed prior to the [[Fall of Reach]],<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach Definitive Edition''', ''page 346''</ref> as well as another pod-shaped turret mounted on its dorsal surface.<ref name="mass"/> The ship is capable of withstanding three [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] rounds and hundreds of [[M58 Archer missile]]s before losing its shields, as well as surviving a dozen Archers to its unshielded hull with minor damage.<ref name="duel">'''Halo: The Fall of Reach Definitive Edition''', ''Chapter thirty-six''</ref>

==Operational history==
The only such vessel known to have been encountered by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] was present at the [[Fall of Reach]] on [[2552|August 30, 2552]], where it served as a secondary [[flagship]] for the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]]. During the battle, it remained outside the range of the planet's [[orbital defense platform]]s and destroyed many UNSC ships, including the ''[[UNSC Musashi|Musashi]]'', the ''[[UNSC Minotaur|Minotaur]]'' and the ''[[UNSC Herodotus|Herodotus]]''.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach Definitive Edition''', ''pages 345-346''</ref> Soon, the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} used three shots from its upgraded MAC and over 500 Archer missiles to drop the ship's shields and apply minimal damage to the hull. The ''Pillar of Autumn'' then launched a remote-controlled [[GA-TL1 Longsword]] armed with a {{Class|Shiva|nuclear missile}}, which impacted the ship while its energy shields were recharging. The explosion was contained by the newly regenerated shields, multiplying the destructive blast exponentially and the ship was destroyed.<ref name="duel"/>
