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 capital ship, and are not designed for combat. Rather, they are designed to provide fresh food for Covenant soldiers.[1] They contain large hunting preserves holding many types of animals, to be killed and fed to the personnel within the fleet. They also contain plants, though it is unknown whether they are used for food or not.[2]
They are only crewed by Huragok and Unggoy, with almost no Sangheili on board. They are commanded by a single Minor Prophet. Only one has been named, which was the Infinite Succor.
Trivia
On the Halo Wars Skirmish map Release, there are several agricultural support ships crashed on the the map.
