The DSC-class support ship,[3] also simply referred to as the agricultural support ship, is a type of support vessel that was used by the Covenant, and attached to their wandering fleets.[1]
Overview
The DSC is not designed for combat but rather is used to provide fresh food for Covenant soldiers.[1][4] The support ship contains large hunting preserves holding many types of animals to be hunted, killed, and fed to the personnel of the fleet.[1][3] Vessels of the class are primarily crewed by Huragok and Unggoy, with little to no Sangheili on board, and are occasionally commanded by a single Minor Prophet.[1] Strangely, the "S" (for Salvation) in the classification code "DSC" indicates that the ship is equipped with at least one energy projector.[5]
