The '''karve''' is a classification of [[Capital ship|capital warship]] designed and employed by the [[Jiralhanae]], primarily the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Reuse|SOR13}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=460}} | |||

As of [[Operation: WOLFE]], the [[UNSC]] was unaware of whether the vessels had [[superluminal communications]] capability.{{Ref/Reuse|SOR13}} They are quick to construct and easy to maintain, making them extremely popular throughout Jiralhanae space as patrol craft and cargo ferries, or by the [[Banished]] as escorts to [[Banished dreadnought|dreadnoughts]]. They are much smaller than the dreadnoughts, though share a similar design including the signature armoured prow, which can be used as an offensive weapon when necessary.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | ||
As part of their use in planetary invasions, a pair of karves can carry and deploy hundreds of [[Gydrozka Workshop Breaching Pod|drop pods]].{{Ref/Novel|HOut|Chapter=24}} | |||
===Armaments=== | |||
The specific armaments of Banished karves are unknown, though they have been observed in effect in the sky battle over [[Suban]]. In this engagement, the karves of the Banished fleet employed two weapons of note; the first a primary [[directed-energy weapon]] of some kind, which appears to involve a lengthy charging time and a [[laser designator]] before firing a large energy bolt at a ship. This weapon is capable of singlehandedly destroying the {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}}s and {{Pattern|Hekar Taa|blockade runner}}s of the [[Swords of Sanghelios]].{{Ref/Reuse|prism}} | |||
The second weapon observed in use by the Banished karves over Suban is a secondary weapon, which appears to fire four projectiles in rapid succession. It is unclear whether this is a single repeating cannon, or a battery of individual guns coordinating their fire; or whether it is an energy weapon or projectile weapon.{{Ref/Reuse|prism}} | |||

Prior to the [[ | Prior to the [[First Immolation]], the Jiralhanae employed karves as patrol ships and cargo [[freighter]]s. Following the Immolation, the [[Banished]] leveraged [[Kig-Yar]] shipbuilding methods to construct karves to augment their existing fleets and serve as dreadnought escorts.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-encyclopedia-extravaganza|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Encyclopedia Extravaganza|D=01|M=06|Y=2022}} | ||

During [[Operation: WOLFE]] in October [[2559]], a karve was deployed by the Banished to capture the city of [[New Mohács]] on [[Reach]].{{Ref/Reuse|SOR13}} | During [[Operation: WOLFE]] in October [[2559]], a karve was deployed by the Banished to capture the city of [[New Mohács]] on [[Reach]].{{Ref/Reuse|SOR13}} In November 2559, seven karves accompanied [[Atriox]]'s ''[[Hammer of Fate]]'' to [[Netherop]] to find [[Keely Iyuska]], a [[human]] that had taken Banished funds to study and find [[Divine Hand|a weapon]] capable of destroying [[Guardian Custode]]s. The Banished sent three of the karves on a slingshot maneuver around the planet to draw off any [[Created]] presence patrolling the planet. The trio was pursued by two {{Class|Acolyte|harrier}}s, and served as decoys on the outer reaches of the [[Ephyra system]]. The remaining four vessels, along with the ''Hammer of Fate'', were concealed by a [[cloaking generator]] on the one of the moons.{{Ref/Reuse|out6}} Atriox later deduced that two of the three decoy karves were destroyed, because the harriers have returned to the orbit of Netherop.{{Ref/Novel|Out|Chapter=15}} | ||
Circa [[2560]], a Banished fleet consisting of dozens of karves and a [[Banished dreadnought]] battled a [[Swords of Sanghelios]] fleet in the skies of [[Suban]], one of the [[natural satellite|moon]]s of the [[Sangheili]] homeworld [[Sanghelios]]. During the battle, the Banished collected [[Subanese crystal]]s from their mines on the moon's surface using [[Barukaza Workshop siege-hauler]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|prism}}{{Ref/Site|Id=WaypointS5Maps|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/maps-overview-season-5|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Maps Overview - Season 5|D=12|M=10|Y=2023}} | |||
