Officially designated Space Control Vehicles, these carriers transported and sustained entire [[Colonial Military Authority]] expeditionary and interdiction campaigns throughout the more remote [[Outer Colonies]] for months at a time, as they eliminated [[insurrectionist]]s and [[Terrorism|terrorists]] before their views could fester and spread. However, when the [[Human-Covenant War]] began, all ''Punic''-class supercarriers were utilized to protect [[human colonies]] from the new [[Covenant]] threat.{{Ref/Reuse|spartan games}} | ||
''Punic''-class supercarriers have participated in numerous campaigns and holding actions throughout the Human-Covenant War, including the [[UNSC]]'s last stand above [[Estuary]] and as base stations for the [[Scyllion Warehouse District riot|decisive counterinsurgency]] and [[Battle of Charybdis IX|evacuation operations]] on [[Charybdis IX]] in [[2535]]. However, despite the benefits of the powerful ships, the destruction of each supercarrier led to the loss of skilled crews and materiel that slowly decreased the [[UNSC Navy]]'s overall effectiveness. By [[2552]], the final year of the Covenant War, only a handful of ''Punic''-class supercarriers remained spaceworthy, including {{UNSCShip|Trafalgar}}, which was stationed over [[Reach]] as the [[flagship]] of the [[Epsilon Eridani Fleet]].{{Ref/Reuse|spartan games}} The ''Trafalgar'' itself was lost in combat against the Covenant during the [[Fall of Reach]], further securing the Covenant's eventual victory in the engagement. | ''Punic''-class supercarriers have participated in numerous campaigns and holding actions throughout the Human-Covenant War, including the [[UNSC]]'s last stand above [[Estuary]] and as base stations for the [[Scyllion Warehouse District riot|decisive counterinsurgency]] and [[Battle of Charybdis IX|evacuation operations]] on [[Charybdis IX]] in [[2535]].
