The Covenant supercarrier[1] was a heavy warship classification within the Covenant Navy.
Multiple supercarriers of the Second Fleet of Homogeneous Clarity defended the massive space station of High Charity[2] and one such vessel served as the flagship of the Combined Fleet of Righteous Purpose.[3][4] During the Fall of Reach, Long Night of Solace, a supercarrier, destroyed the Template:UNSCship and began deploying numerous ground assets to the surface of Reach. During Operation: UPPER CUT, SPARTAN Jorge-052 transported an improvised Slipspace bomb toward Long Night of Solace aboard the Ardent Prayer, a Covenant corvette, while SPARTAN-B312 locked course with the Supercarrier. After SPARTAN-B312 was jettisoned from the hangar, Jorge proceeded to manually detonate the bomb, destroying both the corvette and the supercarrier at the cost of his own life.[5][6]
Description
Overall, the supercarrier is an extremely large and well-equipped ship, easily dwarfing most other Covenant starship classes, even the assault carrier. The vessel looks nearly identical to the Covenant assault carrier, as it is comprised of several bulbous sections and a hook-like prow. However, it appears to have a slightly elongated neck between the fore and aft sections. The interior of the ship has yet to be seen, but would most likely have a similar appearance to other Covenant ships.
