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 fighters.
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.
