The ''CCS'' classification is the most well known type of Covenant warship, one of the few which the UNSC has been able to gain decent intelligence from, via the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'' in particular. The battlecruiser is a long, vaguely organic-shaped spacecraft (often referred to having many bulbous sections), capable of launching dozens of [[Seraph-class starfighter|fighters]], [[DX-class Dropship|dropships]], and boarding craft.

The battlecruiser is a long, vaguely organic-shaped spacecraft (often referred to having many bulbous sections), capable of launching dozens of [[Seraph-class starfighter|fighters]], [[DX-class Dropship|dropships]], and boarding craft. Typically armed with a vast arsenal of energy [[weapons]], it is exactly one-third the length of the rarer and more powerful [[Assault Carriers]], but larger than the more common [[Covenant Frigate|Frigates]] and [[Covenant Destroyer|Destroyers]], equipped with the standard [[energy shield]] generators, [[pulse laser]] turrets, and [[plasma turret|plasma torpedo launchers]], and used as a main heavy [[warship]] by both [[Covenant Loyalists]] and [[Covenant Separatists]]. It appears to be capable of both space warfare and supporting ground operations, capable of deploying upwards of a thousand troops of various races, as well as support vehicles and aircraft through its gravity lift. | ||

CCS-class Battlecruisers seem to be a deeper shade of purple, and do not have as many pointed fins on the nose of the ship. The [[gravity lifts]] are a deeper shade of blueish purple, and the shuttle bays seem to take up a greater portion of the ship, though this would be probably to accommodate the large portion of cutscenes that transition from the interior to the exterior through this area. Also, the ships need flat areas to dispatch troops. Although it is possible to use the gravity lift on rocks, a flat metal section is preferred. | CCS-class Battlecruisers seem to be a deeper shade of purple, and do not have as many pointed fins on the nose of the ship.

In ''Halo: Reach'', | In ''Halo: Reach'', at least two CCS-class Battlecruisers participate in the glassing of [[New Alexandria]]. Another goes after the ''[[Pillar of Autumn]]'' during the [[Battle of Aszod]] as it prepares to launch, also launching Phantoms and Banshees to try to prevent Captain Keyes from getting The Package. Once it gets in range, it is destroyed or crippled by [[Noble Six]] using a [[mass driver]] to damage it via its energy projector. | ||
