 There is more information available on this subject at Capital ship on the English Wikipedia.

"Our fighters are mopping up the last of their recon picket now, nothing serious. But I've isolated approach signatures from multiple CCS-class battle groups, make it three capital ships per group. And in about 90 seconds they'll be all over us."
— Cortana[1]

Capital ships are a classification of spacecraft. The definition of a capital ship depends on the individual faction and the ship class. As an example: the large and heavily armed Phoenix-class is considered a support vessel in the UNSC,[Note 1] while the Marathon-class heavy cruiser, which is nearly half its size, is considered a capital ship.[2]

Types

Covenant

Human

Main article: UNSC starship

Ensigns typically did not pilot UNSC capital ships.[10]

Prehistoric human

Notes

  1. ^ According to The Essential Visual Guide (page 188), Phoenix-class ships used by the UNSC are designated as support vessels rather than colony ships.
  2. ^ While Halo: Shadow of Intent refers to the Zanar-pattern light cruiser Spear of Light as a capital ship, it had been heavily modified by San'Shyuum Prelates to be more effective than other examples of its class, and may have been an anomaly.
