The Carrack is a class of merchant cruiser once used by the Sangheili during the War of Beginnings that has since been adopted in the fleets of Covenant remnants. Unlike the multi-role warships used by the Covenant, older, single-purpose vessels such as the Carrack have become important assets in Covenant remnant factions, as many of the warships of the Covenant have since been destroyed. Regardless, contemporary Sangheili fleetmasters have found Carracks to be capable and resilient troop and materiel transports.[1] By the time the Blooding Years began, Carracks had been upgraded to modern specifications.[2]
Trivia
