The '''''Orion''-class assault carrier''' is a class of [[capital ship]] in service with the [[UNSC Navy]] during the [[Insurrection]] and the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Reuse|canon fodder armory}} | |||
==Overview== | |||
===Design details=== | |||
Considered state-of-the-art when it was introduced, the ''Orion''-class assault carrier incorporated the miniaturized and reconfigurable automated factories and chemical processors that were commonly found in [[Colony ship|colony support vessels]], allowing the carriers to produce fuel, spare parts, and rarely even complete combat vehicles without outside assistance. As such, each ''Orion''-class assault carrier holds a number of cargo lighters and resource gatherers to support its troops and support ships in harsh expeditionary environments.{{Ref/Reuse|canon fodder armory}} Of considerable tonnage by carrier standards, the ''Orion'' outmasses both the {{Class|Poseidon|light carrier}} and {{Class|Epoch|heavy carrier}}.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} These carriers also carry complements of [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marines]] and [[tank]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|canon fodder armory}} | |||
== | ===Armament=== | ||
The ''Orion''-class assault carrier is armed with two heavy 90C1E1 [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]s, which serve as the carrier's primary weapon. In addition, the assault carrier is outfitted with 70 [[M58 Archer missile]] pods and and 12 [[M870 Rampart point defense gun]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|fb}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | |||

==Operational history== | ==Operational history== | ||
The ''Orion''-class assault carrier was built for war against rebellious [[human colonies]] during the [[Insurrection]]. The class was conceived as a new type of carrier that could directly aid the [[United Nations Space Command]]'s sustained ground operations in addition to maintaining aerospace control over contested worlds. Throughout the Insurrection, the appearance of a [[battle group]] led by an ''Orion''-class assault carrier was seen as a symbol of the UNSC's military strength. | The ''Orion''-class assault carrier was built for war against rebellious [[human colonies]] during the [[Insurrection]].

As the [[Human-Covenant War]] began in [[2525]], ''Orion''-class assault carriers commonly served as [[flagship]]s, serving in numerous battles throughout the [[Outer Colonies]] in desperate defensive actions against the [[Covenant]]. The Covenant War saw the destruction of most ''Orion''-class carriers as many of these vessels sacrificed themselves to buy time for [[civilian]]s and troops to be evacuated to the [[Inner Colonies]]. The remaining vessels of the ''Orion'' class formed the core of long-range battle groups that attempted to disrupt Covenant supply lines and staging areas, with limited success. | As the [[Human-Covenant War]] began in [[2525]], ''Orion''-class assault carriers commonly served as [[flagship]]s, serving in numerous battles throughout the [[Outer Colonies]] in desperate defensive actions against the [[Covenant]].
