The DSC-class support ship,[3] also simply referred to as the agricultural support ship, is a type of support vessel that was used by the Covenant, and attached to their wandering fleets.[1]
Specifications
These vessels are much smaller than a Covenant capital ship, and are not designed for combat. Rather, they are designed to provide fresh food for Covenant soldiers.[1][4] They contain large hunting preserves holding many types of animals, to be hunted, killed, and fed to the personnel within the fleet.[1][3] They also contain plants, though it is unknown whether they are used for food or not.[5]
They are primarily crewed by Huragok and Unggoy, with little to no Sangheili on board. They are occasionally commanded by a single Minor Prophet.[1]
Strangely, the "S", or Salvation, in the suport ship's three-letter classification code "DSC" indicates that the ship is a dedicated warship equipped with energy projectors.[6]
