The Covenant supercarrier[1] was a heavy warship classification within the Covenant Navy.
Multiple supercarriers of the Second Fleet of Homogeneous Clarity defended the massive space station of High Charity[2] and one such vessel served as the flagship of the Combined Fleet of Righteous Purpose.[3][4] During the Fall of Reach, Long Night of Solace, a supercarrier, destroyed the Template:UNSCship and began deploying numerous ground assets to the surface of Reach. During Operation: UPPERCUT, SPARTAN Jorge-052 transported an improvised Slipspace bomb toward Long Night of Solace aboard the Ardent Prayer, a Covenant corvette, while SPARTAN-B312 locked course with the Supercarrier. After SPARTAN-B312 was jettisoned from the hangar, Jorge proceeded to manually detonate the bomb, destroying both the corvette and the supercarrier at the cost of his own life.[5][6]
