User:Etraxeon/CSO-Class Super carrier

The CSO-Class Supercarrier is a superheavy capital ship class used by the Covenant and some post-war factions, this is the largest known vessel used by the Covenant, dwarfing even the UNSC Infinity.

As many as a dozen ships were produced during the lifetime of the Covenant, with the Long Night of Solace being the last supercarrier to roll off the Assembly Forges of High Charity. Having been completed in 2549, A 14th Incomplete Supercarrier was in construction at the time of the Great Schism and this almost-intact scaffold remains on the arc, highly sought after by the Banished following the loss of their Carrier. Their intention is to restart the assembly forge to complete the carrier, if completed this carrier would have posed a major threat to the UNSC Forces of the Spirit of Fire.

Appearance
The CSO is almost-identical to a enlarged CAS/DDS Carrier, with the distinctive hook-like front section being apparent, however the only differences are its internal structure, its massive size and colouration of Nuvaar-pattern supercarriers. The Endarvon-pattern is coloured like a CAS, Being silvery grey.

Nuvaar-Pattern
The Nuvaar-pattern is the most common variant of CSO Supercarrier, with over 13 built ships and 1 incomplete vessel, it is belived that the resources alone for each carrier could have been used for atleast a dozen assault carriers, making these the most expensive ships in the Covenant. After the war, As many as 3 ships survived the War, with 1 such vessel being destroyed during the period between the Great Schism and Created Conflict.

Endarvon-pattern
The 2nd and rarest pattern of CSO, Only 2 known ships of this pattern exist and are refits of existing Nuvaar-pattern Supercarriers, The Only members of this class are exclusively used in the First fleet of Gallant Ingenuity, with the first vessel being the Extension of Omnipresence, which recieved the upgrade as part of its repairs at Drakaar 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 then Nuvaars.
