[[File:Reach-Concept-ToTS-Supercarrier.jpg|thumb|250px|Mark Goldsworthy's concept painting depicting the ship's reveal in the mission [[Tip of the Spear]].]] | |||
The supercarrier was first designed by [[Bungie]] for inclusion in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. According to concept artist [[:Category:Images by Mark Goldsworthy|Mark Goldsworthy]]; "''The moment the Black Ship appears in Reach is a major surprise. I wanted to capture the immense and intimidating feel of the ship against the tiny UNSC Frigates that were fleeing. Thus, the camera angle is like an ant looking up at a giant. The Black Ship was a low poly in-game model that I increased the geometry resolution in order to give it a smoother look when rendered in mental ray. Then much post work was painted in Photoshop to create the illusion of the ship coming out of the clouds.''". | |||
During the production of ''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]'', author [[Troy Denning]] intended for the under-construction supercarrier ''[[Hammer of Faith]]'' to be the sister-ship of ''Long Night of Solace'' - thus making it a ''Sh'wada''-pattern supercarrier. This mention was ultimately removed from the book at the request of [[343 Industries]], leaving ''Hammer of Faith'' simply a supercarrier of unknown classification. Of note, Denning used an image of the ''Sh'wada''-pattern supercarrier from this website as reference while describing ''Hammer of Faith'', though at the time of the book's writing this page erroneously had an image of the [[Unidentified Covenant assault carrier class|assault carrier]] model from the same level in place - meaning that Denning was inadvertently describing the wrong ship than what he intended.{{Ref/Twitter|TDenningauthor|1081251542357942272|Troy Denning|Quote=The CSO pic in Halopedia is what I was working from when I described it, and in mind, it was intended to be a sister ship to LNoF.
