According to their size, the ''Sh'wada'' is equipped with a massive and diverse array of heavy weaponry. These include 12 [[Plasma lance|''Urpeon''-pattern superheavy plasma lances]] - a lance loadout only rivalled in number by the [[Forerunner]]-derived relic lances of the {{Pattern|Rasus|interdictor}}. A total of 100 [[plasma beam emitter]]s are equipped on the ship, including 20 ''Ukk'Wa''-pattern heavy arrays and 80 ''Luxor''-pattern heavy emitters - the latter of which are a fairly common fitting on the more powerful capital warships of the Covenant fleet. These heavy anti-ship weapons are supplemented with 32 [[Plasma torpedo|''Mictix''-pattern heavy plasma torpedo silos]], a design shared with the {{Pattern|Kerel|assault carrier|}} and {{Pattern|Syfon|assault carrier}}s of the fleet.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | According to their size, the ''Sh'wada'' is equipped with a massive and diverse array of heavy weaponry.

For [[Point-defense gun|point-defence]], the supercarrier employs a gargantuan array of [[pulse laser turret]]s.

During the production of ''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]'', author [[Troy Denning]] intended for the under-construction supercarrier ''[[Hammer of Faith]]'' to be the sister-ship of ''Long Night of Solace'' - thus making it a ''Sh'wada''-pattern supercarrier. This mention was ultimately removed from the book at the request of [[343 Industries]], leaving ''Hammer of Faith'' simply a supercarrier of unknown classification. Of note, Denning used an image of the ''Sh'wada''-pattern supercarrier from this website as reference while describing ''Hammer of Faith'', though at the time of the book's writing this page erroneously had an image of the [[Unidentified Covenant assault carrier class|assault carrier]] model from the same level in place - meaning that Denning was inadvertently describing the wrong ship than what he intended.{{Ref/Twitter|TDenningauthor|1081251542357942272|Troy Denning|Quote=The CSO pic in Halopedia is what I was working from when I described it, and in mind, it was intended to be a sister ship to LNoF.
