List of Starships

This is a complete List of Starships of the Halo universe.

Human Starships

Carriers

Supercarriers

The UNSC Supercarrier is a heavy warship classification within the UNSC Fleet. Only a few were constructed. This warship classification is likely to be on the same level as the Marathon-class Cruiser or higher in terms of overall power.

Cruisers

Marathon-class Cruisers

The Marathon-class Cruiser is a classification of UNSC warship. These starships were the replacement for the aging Halcyon-class Cruiser. They are consited to be the most powerful ship built by human hands, boasting three MAC guns.

Ship Name	Status
UNSC Leviathan	Status Unknown, last seen over Reach.

Halcyon-class Cruisers

The Halcyon-class Cruiser (Pronounced 'hal-see-on') (known as Human Attack Ship class C-II[1] by the Covenant) was a UNSC cruiser starship classification designed by Dr. Robert McLees in 2510. Their service lives were short due to a unique hull design that was both costly to construct and maintain, lack of speed, and concerns about their tactical viability. They were subsequently replaced by the Marathon-class cruisers. Experience gained later in the Human-Covenant War demonstrated that the same overengineered hull design was capable of absorbing surprisingly severe punishment.

UNSC Dawn Under Heaven	Destroyed, Battle of Reach.
UNSC Pillar of Autumn	Destroyed, Battle of Installation 04.

Stealth Cruisers

The Stealth Cruiser was a starship in the UNSC fleet. Stealth Cruisers are the largest prowler-type vessels built, the length of a UNSC Destroyer. Only one has ever been known to exist, as Stealth Cruisers are not practical due to the large amount of Stealth Ablative Coating that must be maintained in order to keep them invisible from radar.

Ship Name	Status
UNSC Point of No Return	Status Unknown, presumably active.

Destroyers

The UNSC Destroyer is a classification of warship in the UNSC fleet. Although this classification is only seven meters longer than a UNSC Frigate, they are almost double the mass, due to the two meters of Titanium A armor battle plate covering the ship. Unlike most ships in the fleet, Destroyers carry no single-ship fighters. Dr. Catherine Halsey once stated that Destroyers are essentially the same as Frigates except for this added armor.

Ship Name	Status
UNSC Glasgow Kiss	Destroyed, Battle of Oynx.
UNSC Heracles	Heavily damaged at Harvest, managed to return to Reach. Current status unknown.
UNSC Herodotus	Destroyed, Battle of Reach.
UNSC Iroquois	Status Unknown, last seen over Reach.
UNSC Iwo Jima	Destroyed, Battle of Oynx.
UNSC Lancelot	Status Unknown, last confirmed over the planet Sigma Octanus IV following the battle there.
UNSC Minotaur	Destroyed, Battle of Reach.
UNSC Tharsis	Destroyed, Battle of Reach.

Frigates

The UNSC Frigate is a common starship classification amongst the UNSC fleet. Although it is significantly weaker in armor and armament compared to its larger cousin, the UNSC Destroyer, the frigate is smaller (thus more maneuverable), and cheaper to produce, allowing greater numbers to be fielded against the Covenant.

Ship Name	Status
UNSC Aegis Fate	Status Unknown, possibly still in service
UNSC Alliance	Status Unknown, last seen en route to Sigma Octanus IV.

Mako-class Corvettes

The Mako-class Corvette was a starship classification in the United Nations Space Command fleet. Several of such corvettes were at the rebel asteroid base over Eridanus Secundus, used by the rebels as part of their improvised fleet. These corvettes, according to Cortana, were some of the fastest UNSC warships.

Ship Name	Status
UNSC Coral Sea	Status Unknown, last seen in Slipspace.
UNSC Pony Express	Status Unknown, last seen over Earth.
UNSC Two for Flinching	Status Unknown, last seen December 21, 2524 Epsilon Indi System.

Freighters

Parabola-class Freighters

The Parabola-class Freighter is a United Nations Space Command starship classification used in the early 26th century as a field engineering and support craft. However, by 2525 many of these freighters were independent and used for commercial and civilian use.

Laden-class Freighters

The Laden-class Freighter was a human-designed freighter classification. Two freighters of this class were used by the Eridanus Rebels as part of their improvised fleet.

Stealth Vessels

Prowlers

The UNSC Prowler is a starship classification within the United Nations Space Command. As stealth vessels, they were used exclusively by the Office of Naval Intelligence.

Ship Name	Status
UNSC Apocalypso	Status Unknown, last seen over the Moon.
UNSC Applebee	Status Unknown, last seen over Reach.
UNSC Circumference	Damaged Beyond Repair, Battle of Reach.
UNSC Dusk	Status Unknown, last seen over Onyx.
UNSC Lark	Status Unknown, last seen over Reach.

Chiroptera-class Stealth Vessels

The Chiroptera-class Stealth Vessel was a classification of small starship used by ONI. Chiroptera-class Prowlers were used by the UNSC in the early 2500s, but in 2512, all vessels of this class were decommissioned and sold for scrap. They are notable for having the smallest operational Slipspace engines ever produced.

Ship Name	Status
UNSC Beatrice	Destroyed, Battle of Onyx.

C709 Longsword-class Interceptors

The C709 Longsword-class Starfighter is the main UNSC space fighter-bomber.

Ship Name	Status
Knife 26	Destroyed, Battle of Reach.
7-89	Destroyed, Battle of Installation 00.

Support Ships

Calypso-class Exfiltration Craft

The Calypso-class Exfiltration Craft is a United Nations Space Command starship classification. It appears that Black Cats rendered these ships obsolete.

Black Cat-class Subprowlers

Black Cat-class Subprowlers are a classification of small exfiltration ships within the UNSC Fleet. Designated as "sub-prowlers," they have extremely limited capabilities and are used mostly as exfiltration craft to escape combat situations with stealth and ease. The ships have limited Slipspace capacitors. Black Cats are routinely used on high-risk ops, so that UNSC Special Forces can retreat quickly and easily. Each subprowler can hold approximately 38 SPARTAN-IIIs.

Dropships

Albatross-class Dropships

The Albatross is a very large dropship capable of transporting significantly more cargo than the Pelican. Three sides of the ventral cargo tray open to allow quick entry or egress. An Albatross can be seen up close on the Halo 3 Multiplayer map called Sand Trap next to one of the bases.

D77-TC Pelican-class Dropships

The D77H-TCI Pelican is an extremely versatile craft used primarily for transportation of personnel and equipment by the UNSC. It is the UNSC's primary tactical support aerocraft, fulfilling the role of tactical transport and gunship since, at least, 2525. The Pelican's crew compartments can be sealed and the craft made suitable for limited space flight.

Ship Name	Status
Bravo 1	Destroyed, Battle of Reach.
Bravo 22	Destroyed, Battle of Installation 04.
Charlie 217	Destroyed, Battle of Installation 04.
Echo 51	Destroyed, Second Battle of New Mombasa

Carriers

Covenant Supercarrier

The Covenant Supercarrier, also known as the Covenant Fleet Carrier, is a carrier classification in the Covenant starfleet. They are hypothesized to be the most powerful starships in the Covenant armada. Multiple supercarriers of the Second Fleet of Homogenous Clarity defended the massive space station of High Charity and one was the flagship of the Combined Fleet of Righteous Purpose.

Ship Name	Status
Sublime Transcendence	Destroyed, NOVA bomb detonation.

Covenant Carrier

The Covenant Carrier is a heavy warship classification in the Covenant fleet. It is armed with Pulse Laser turrets. However, its primary role in combat is to dispatch starfighters and other smaller ships, and it boasts thirty-six Seraph fighters, three capital medium dropships, and thirty-six dropships. It has been hypothesized that since the Covenant Carrier is longer than the Covenant Cruiser and much more uncommon, it is a more powerful warship overall.

Ship Name	Status
Lawgiver	Status Unknown

Covenant Assault Carrier

The Assault Carrier is a heavy warship classification within the Covenant Fleet. The Assault Carrier easily dwarfs even the mighty UNSC Marathon-class Cruiser, as seen in this comparison of ships. The Covenant Assault Carriers are massive Covenant spacecraft capable of massive destruction. They are armed with energy beam projectors and their gravity lifts can also be used as a planetary siege weapon. Two of these craft, one commanded by the High Prophet of Regret, attacked Earth in October of 2552. They are larger than CCS-class Battlecruisers, with three primary bulbous sections as opposed to the single one atop a CCS-class battlecruiser.

Ship Name	Status
Shadow of Intent	Made it safely back to Sangheilios

Covenant Supercruiser

The Covenant Supercruiser is a classification of Covenant battleship that is one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful, capital ships in the Covenant armada. Its keel length is over three times that of the UNSC Marathon-class heavy cruiser - over 3.5 kilometers.

Covenant Battleship

The Covenant Battleship was a heavy warship classification in the Covenant fleet, classified as a cruiser. This warship was two kilometers long, had five bulbous sections, and bristled with a dozen energy projectors - enough weapons to decimate any UNSC fleet from long range. It was larger than most Covenant warships, even surpassing the keel length of the CCS-class battlecruiser, but itself was dwarfed by the Covenant Flagship and the Covenant Assault Carrier. It is believed to be extremely heavily armed for its size, as it possessed a dozen projectors at two kilometers whereas the Covenant Supercruiser had five projectors, but was longer than 3.5 kilometers.

Flagship

The Covenant Flagship is the ship that commands operations in a Fleet. It can be any ship apparently as there has been no specific class of "Flagship" listed.

Ship Name	Status
Seeker of Truth	Status Unknown.
Ascendant Justice	Destroyed, Destruction of Unyielding Heirophant.
Sublime Transcendence	Destroyed, NOVA bomb detonation.
Incorruptible	Destroyed, Battle of Onyx.

Reverence-class Cruisers

The Reverence-class Cruiser is Covenant warship classification - a powerful warship. This classification is relatively long: 3 kilometers long, twice that of the considerably armored and armed Covenant Destroyer. This cruiser classification fielded a large compliment of soldiers and was also used as a flagship for small taskforces.

Ship Name	Status
Incorruptible	Destroyed, Battle of Onyx.

CCS-class Battlecruisers

The CCS-class Battlecruiser is a heavy warship classification in the Covenant fleet. This classification of heavy warships are long, vaguely organic-shaped spacecraft. They are armed with covenant pulse lasers and plasma turrets of unknown number. This style of ship seems to be the default or main battleship in the Covenant armada.

Ship Name	Status
Triumphant Declaration	Status Unknown, last seen over Cleveland.
Truth and Reconciliation	Destroyed, Battle of Installation 04.
Purity of Spirit	Sent messages to Pillar of Autumn and Reach. Status Unknown.
Sacred Promise	Destroyed in unknown system from fuel cell rupture, presumably by a UNSC MAC shell.

Covenant Cruiser

The Covenant Cruiser is a classification of a heavy-tonnage Covenant starship. The Covenant Cruiser, however, should not be confused with the Covenant CCS-class Battlecruiser. The cruiser is larger than the Covenant Light Cruiser but is smaller than the Covenant Carrier. They are armed with five plasma turrets, laterally-mounted pulse lasers, but lack a compliment of supplementary Seraph-class starfighters.

Ship Name	Status
Pious Inquisitor	Destroyed, First Battle of Earth.

Covenant CAR-class

The Covenant CAR-class is a type of ship mentioned in Transmissions a type of promotion for the then new game, Halo: Combat Evolved. The transmissions are directly linked to the Cortana Letters and like the Cortana Letters aren't really considered Canon unless specifically mentioned in later Halo Canon works.

Ship Name	Status
Contrition	Sent message to Hermes II. Status Unknown.
Penance	Sent message to Reach. Status Unknown.

Covenant Destroyer

The Covenant Destroyer is a warship classification in the Covenant Starfleet. It is 1500 meters long, nearly the length of a CCS-class Battlecruiser, and half the size of the majestic Reverence-class Cruiser. This class of starship is extremely well-armed, boasting multiple pulse laser turrets, plasma torpedo launcher(s), and Seraph-class starfighters. This dangerous warship classification has the distinctive three bulbous sections of heavier Covenant warships, mirroring the lethality of its larger cousins.

Ship Name	Status
Absolution	Destroyed, Battle of Onyx.
Bloodied Spirit	Destroyed, Battle of Onyx.
Far Sight Lost	Destroyed, Battle of Onyx.

Cruisers

Covenant Light Cruiser

The Covenant light cruiser is a capital starship in the Covenant fleet. Several light cruisers were used over the planet of Reach during the occupation action.

Covenant CPV-class

The Covenant CPV-class is a type of ship mentioned in Transmissions a type of promotion for the then new game, Halo: Combat Evolved. The transmissions are directly linked to the Cortana Letters and like the Cortana Letters aren't really considered Canon unless specifically mentioned in later Halo Canon works.

Ship Name	Status
Esteem	Status Unknown.
Reverence	Status Unknown.

Covenant Frigate

The Covenant Frigate is a medium-tonnage warship, seeming to be the smallest and most common warship classification among the Covenant's space fleets. These starships are equipped with multiple pulse lasers, three or more, and at least one Plasma Torpedo launcher on a lateral surface. They appear at most Covenant-UNSC engagements. They are larger then a UNSC Frigate, but smaller than other UNSC ships. They have an overall bulbous shape

Ship Name	Status
Reverant	Destroyed, Battle of Onyx.
Twilight Compunction	Status Unknown.
Tenebrous	Destroyed, Covenant Civil War.

Support Starships

Covenant Stealth Corvette

The Covenant Stealth Corvette was an unarmed starship in the Covenant fleet. This starship was an intelligence-gathering starship, with stealth systems that made it appear to waver in and out of space and also complex fire-control jamming systems that could disrupt UNSC Archer missile targeting computers. These electronic countermeasures ensured its survival against enemy warships while it gathered required intelligence. These corvettes also had an extensive sensor suite to gather such information.

Agricultural Support Ship

Agricultural Support Ships are a type of support vessel used by the Covenant and attached to their wandering fleets. These vessels are much smaller than a Covenant CCS-class Battle Cruiser or carrier, and are not designed for combat. Rather, they are designed to provide fresh foodstuffs for Covenant soldiers. They contain large hunting preserves holding many types of animals to be killed and fed to the Elites and Prophets within the fleet, as well as plants, but it is unclear if these plants are eaten; humans do not know much about the diet of most Covenant creatures. They are crewed primarily by Engineers and Grunts. They are commanded by a single Prophet Legate.

Ship Name	Status
Infinite Succor	Destroyed during the Battle of Installation 04.

Seraph-class Starfighters

The Seraph-class starfighter is the Covenant Starfleet's main starfighter, and are hypothesized to be the Covenant's counterpart to the UNSC C709 Longsword starfighter. They are teardrop and piscine in form. They are stored in Covenant capital ships when they are not in battle or escorting a ship. Seraphs are far more maneuverable than human ships, and usually attack in groups of around ten. They sometimes harass enemy ships and perform hit-and-run strafing attacks on enemy ships. They are also equipped with energy shields, but these are only a fraction as strong as those of larger ships and are easily dispersed by concentrated point defense.

Dropships

Spirit

The Spirit, otherwise known as the DX-class Dropship, is a Covenant troop dropship in Halo: Combat Evolved. They are angular, tuning fork shaped craft with personnel bays along the exterior of each "prong". They were used by the Covenant up until they were replaced by Phantom dropships around the time of The First Battle of Earth. They are used to transport Elites, Jackals, and Grunts.

Ship Name	Status
Brilliant Gift	Destroyed.

Phantom

The Covenant Phantom is a much more formidable dropship than the previous integrations. It boasts several plasma gun turrets, and can literally drop its occupants to the ground with a miniature gravity lift without having to fully land . It also ferries vehicles such as the Wraith, Spectre and Ghost to their intended dropzones. The Phantom is a Covenant Dropship, far sturdier and more heavily armed than the Spirit dropship.

Covenant Boarding Craft

When a UNSC ship is under siege by the Covenant Fleet, rather than simply destroy it, Covenant forces may attempt to board the ship and search for vital information or capture valuable individuals on the crew. In such a situation the Boarding Craft is used. They simply use the windows or the empty escape pod docking rings to board the vessel. The Boarding Craft are reusable, and able to leave the UNSC ship and return to a nearby cruiser should the need to retreat occur.
