User:CSO-class supercarrier (Ynoss)

{|style="width:100%; color:#FFF;"

The CSO-class supercarrier is the largest model of and as well one of the most powerful utilised by the  before, during and after the, only surpassed by the Penumbra of Castigation. The CSO is capable of mounting 6 in its ventral sub-vessel hangar bays.

Cauteriser-pattern
Built to the standards of the Medural-pattern assault carrier  by the  after the war, the Cauteriser-pattern supercarrier was built over several decades using smuggled Covenant technology to produce a CSO-like ship. It is a more rugged ship, focusing on heavy armor and firepower over mobility. The Cauteriser has much of the same weapons as the Nuvaar, but is significantly weaker.

Endarvon-pattern
Utilised almost exclusively by the First Fleet of Gallant Ingenuity, the Endarvon-pattern supercarrier was introduced in wihen the  Extension of Omnipresence  recieved the upgrade as part of its repairs at  Drakkar  alongside the  Monumental Law . Like all First Fleet ships these ships have multiple redundent systems in place to prevent electromagnetic attacks from affecting them, albeit disabled for only a few minutes. Among other improvements are improved impulse engine drive systems and improved nanolaminate armor, making them faster and stronger than Nuvaars.

Endarvons are also more automated, requiring only a tenth of the crew of a Nuvaar to operate effectively. A refresh of this pattern occured in 2569 with improvements to capacity and removal of older systems that are no longer in use.

Nuvaar-pattern
Easily the most common variant of supercarrier, the Nuvaar-pattern supercarrier was introduced in when the  lead ship  of the CSO-class, the  Enduring Tempest , was released from its assembly forge. Nuvaar is believed that the resources alone for each carrier could have been used for at least a dozen assault carriers, making these the most expensive ships in the Covenant Empire.
