''Syfon''-pattern vessels can be most easily distinguished from their ''Kerel''-pattern counterparts by their more segmented hull plating. Of particular note, the ''Syfon''-pattern features numerous skyscraper-like protrusions extending from the dorsal surfaces of the ship, where the ''Kerel'' has an extremely consistently smooth hull covering. The ''Syfon'' is a commonly-seen variation of the assault carrier design.{{Ref/Reuse|WF}} | ''Syfon''-pattern vessels can be most easily distinguished from their ''Kerel''-pattern counterparts by their more segmented hull plating.

''Syfon''-pattern assault carriers can also carry large nature preserves on board, similar to those housed on {{Pattern|Mjern|agricultural support ship}}s. One such example was used by the [[Prophet of Regret]] aboard ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' as a place to carry out his official duties.{{Ref/Game|Id=h2a|H2A|Terminal (Halo 2: Anniversary)|Terminal 14}} | |||
===Power and propulsion=== | |||
''Syfon''-pattern carriers are powered by a large [[deuterium]]-[[tritium]] [[pinch fusion reactor]] housed in the central mass of the ship, inside a large and cavernous space.{{Ref/Reuse|H2Cairo}} | |||
===Armaments=== | ===Armaments=== | ||
The ''Syfon'' boasts an identical armament loadout to its ''Kerel'' counterpart. Its primary weapon is an [[Excavation beam|''Infernus''-pattern excavation beam]], with an additional two [[Plasma lance|''Urpeon''-pattern plasma lances]] for heavy anti-ship work. The class is additionally fitted with eight [[Plasma beam|''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|Enc22}} | The ''Syfon'' boasts an identical armament loadout to its ''Kerel'' counterpart.

Following the Covenant's collapse, at least one ''Syfon''-pattern, ''[[Enduring Conviction]]'', fell into the hands of the [[Banished]]. ''Conviction'' was persuaded to abandon the [[Fleet of Recalcitrant Ire]] and ultimately served [[Atriox]] as the flagship for the force brought to [[Installation 00]] in late [[2558]]. Months later, the ship would be destroyed thanks to actions by the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}.{{Ref/Level|HW2|The Foundry}}{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=461}} | Following the Covenant's collapse, at least one ''Syfon''-pattern, ''[[Enduring Conviction]]'', fell into the hands of the [[Banished]].

A ''Syfon''-pattern assault carrier served as the [[flagship]] of the [[First Fleet of Solemn Accord]].{{Ref/Film|Id=Thermopylae|TV|Episode=[[Thermopylae (TV Series)|Thermopylae]]}} During the [[Battle of Installation 04/Silver|Battle of Installation 04]], it engaged the UNSC fleet until [[Kai-125/Silver|Kai-125]] rammed a captured {{Pattern|Ceudar|heavy corvette}} into the assault carrier, destroying both ships, seemingly at the cost of her own life. The assault carrier's destruction allowed the UNSC to gain the upper hand and decimate the Covenant fleet.{{Ref/Film|Id=Halo|TV|Episode=[[Halo (TV Series)|Halo]]}} | |||
