CCT-Class Heavy Patrol Cruiser



CCT-Class Heavy Patrol Crusiers where used by the covenant (and later the Banished) as colonial defence ships and space stations defence as well.

The where out fitted with a slip space drive, shielding and on very rare occasions cloaking technology making them almost invisible. This allowed the ships to travel undetected by any UNSC scanners.

Their Hull was made out of Nanolaminate and equipped with inner energy shielding. They where typically armed with fifty two Meilusean-Pattern heavy plasma cannons, twenty Our-Pattern plasma torpedoes and one Vendrax-Pattern heavy plasma lance. Surprisingly this type of ship was lightly armed compared to other cruisers but it’s main weapon was it’s self. The ship would charge an enemy vessel and ram it hoping to destroy the vessel. The sacrificial behaviour of this ships ment that they had to be constantly manufactured in covenant ship yards.

One of these ship yards would be camtured by Atriox and the banished giving them more fire power to tackle both the humans and the covenant.

They would see battle right up to the end of the covenant empire and into the years of the covenant remnants, finding service in Jul Mdama’s covenant, The Swords of Sangheilios, The Banished and The Haunted.
