Template:Ship The Covenant Carrier[1] is a heavy warship classification in the Covenant fleet. It is 1455 meters long[2] and is armed with Pulse Laser turrets.
However, its primary role in combat is to dispatch singleship starfighters and other smaller ships, as it boasts three squadrons of Seraph fighters[3], two hundred BansheesTemplate:Fact and thirty-four dropshipsTemplate:Fact, These ships are carried in the thirteen launch bays[4].
It has been hypothesized that since the Covenant Carrier is longer than the Covenant Cruiser and much more uncommon, it is a more powerful warship overall. Alternatively, it is likely used for command-and-control of large numbers of warships, and deploying large numbers of fighters.
There may be some dispute over the length of the carrier, as in Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, it says that the Incorruptible, a Reverance class cruiser, which is 3000 meters long, took cover behind the carrier Lawgiver. However, the Incorruptible merely took cover behind the other ship, using the Carrier's shields as a barrier to protect the Cruiser.
