The '''''CSO''-class supercarrier''' is a powerful [[Covenant]] [[Capital ship|capital warship]], primarily designed for command and control duties for fleets, as well as support for occupation forces. Such vessels are typically deployed only during invasions of worlds with high strategic value.<ref name="DD4">[[Data Drop| | The '''''CSO''-class supercarrier''' is a powerful [[Covenant]] [[Supercarrier]] [[Capital ship|capital warship]], primarily designed for command and control duties for fleets, as well as support for occupation forces.

The supercarrier is an extremely large and well-equipped capital ship, easily dwarfing most other Covenant starship classes. The vessel looks nearly identical to the {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}}, sharing the smaller ship's design of several bulbous sections and a hook-like prow, albeit painted purple instead of white.<ref name=" | The supercarrier is an extremely large and well-equipped capital ship, easily dwarfing most other Covenant starship classes.

The "S", or Salvation, in the supercarrier's three-letter classification code, "CSO" indicates that the carrier is a dedicated [[warship]]. The "O", or Ordained, indicates that the ''CSO''-class supercarrier is not a mission type and has been improved upon with [[Forerunner]] technology.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-have-s-moa | The "S", or Salvation, in the supercarrier's three-letter classification code, "CSO" indicates that the carrier is a dedicated [[warship]].

During [[Operation: UPPER CUT]], [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[Jorge-052]] transported an improvised [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine#Atypical uses|slipspace bomb]] toward ''Long Night of Solace'' aboard the [[SDV-class heavy corvette|corvette]] ''[[Ardent Prayer]]'' while [[SPARTAN-B312]] locked course with the supercarrier.
