The '''Covenant Supercruiser''' is a classification of extremely powerful capital [[Covenant]] warships within the [[Covenant Navy]].

==Background==
===Physical Characteristics and Armament===
Its length of 3.5 kilometers was over three times that of the [[UNSC]] {{Class|Marathon|Cruiser}}.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', page 297</ref>

These ships were durable enough to withstand one [[nuclear mine]] detonation, or even three [[MAC]] rounds and nearly five hundred [[Archer missile]]s. However, during the [[Battle of Reach]], it used a hit-and-run tactic to avoid fire from the [[ODP]]s' "Super" MACs. The Supercruiser in [[Halo: Reach]] has a striking resemblence to the [[Assault Carrier]] albeit being enormously huge.

===Operational Use===
One of these warships led the Covenant invasion [[Fleet]] during the the [[First Battle of Reach]] in [[2552|August 2552]], where it destroyed many UNSC ships, like the ''[[UNSC Musashi|Musashi]]'', the ''[[UNSC Minotaur|Minotaur]]'' and the ''[[UNSC Herodotus|Herodotus]]'', but was destroyed by the ''{{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}''. The ''Autumn'' launched a remote controlled Longsword armed with a Shiva missile under the Supercruiser's shields, multiplying the destructive blast exponentially, by having the shields containing the blast.

==Weapons==
The Covenant Supercruiser's weapon systems seem limited, but extremely powerful. It possesses an [[Energy Projector]] which shoots a thin needle beam at light speed, enabling it to cut through the hull armor of several [[UNSC]] ships at a time. First described as a type of sniping ship because of its combat tactics, this weapon can be described as similar to the [[Beam Rifle]]. This weapon needs to charge over time, but once charged, can unleash its wrath with deadly pinpoint accuracy.

==Complement==
Given its gigantic size (second only to the [[Assault Carrier]] and [[Covenant Supercarrier|Supercarrier]]), it is supposed to be able to carry hundreds of [[Seraph|fighters]] and/or [[dropships]]. Moreover, it probably carries large amounts of ground vehicles and troops, possibly [[legions]].
