Template:Ratings Template:Ship
The Covenant Carrier[1] is a heavy warship classification within the Covenant Navy. It is 1455 meters long[2] and is armed with Pulse Laser turrets.
However, its primary role in combat is to dispatch starfighters and other smaller ships, as it boasts three squadrons of Seraph fighters[3], two hundred BansheesTemplate:Fact and thirty-four dropships.Template: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 in a Fleet, it is most likely a more powerful warship overall. Alternatively, it is likely used for command and control of large numbers of warships and deploying waves of starfighter craft.
There may be some dispute over the length of the Carrier, as in Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, it mentions that the Incorruptible, a Reverence-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.
Halo Wars
The ship in Halo Wars probably isn't the carrier because in Halo: Fall of Reach, the covenant carrier is described as having a "swollen midsection", and the ship in Halo Wars has a small midsection, the ship is also said to have thirteen launch bays, whereas the ship in Halo Wars hardly has any visible launch bays.
