| The '''Covenant Carrier'''<ref>[[Halopedia:Covenant Ship Classification Canon Debate|Covenant Ship Classification Halopedia Canon]]</ref> is a heavy [[warship]] classification within the [[Covenant Navy]]. It is 1,455 meters long<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', [[Battle of Onyx]]</ref> and is armed with [[Pulse Laser turret]]s and two [[Plasma Torpedo|plasma torpedoes]].
| |
| | |
| ==Overview==
| |
| | |
| Its primary role in combat is to dispatch single ship star fighters and other smaller ships, as it boasts three squadrons of [[Seraph]] fighters <ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', page 155</ref>, two hundred [[Banshee]]s and thirty-four [[Spirit]]s/[[Phantom]]s. These ships are carried in the thirteen launch bays <ref>'''[[The Fall of Reach]]''', page 146</ref>.
| |
| | |
| It has been hypothesized that since the [[Covenant]] [[Carrier]] is longer than the [[Covenant Cruiser]] and much more uncommon in a Covenant [[fleet]], it is most likely a more powerful warship overall. Alternatively, it is likely used for command and control of large numbers of warships and deploying waves of [[Starfighter|star fighter]] craft.
| |
| | |
| There may be some dispute over the length of the Carrier, for example in ''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', it mentions that the ''[[Incorruptible]]'', a ''Reverence''-class Cruiser, which is 3000 meters long, took cover behind the Carrier ''[[Lawgiver]]''. However, the ''Incorruptible'' merely took cover behind the other ship, using the Carrier's shields as a barrier to protect itself.
