The Nuvaar-pattern supercarrier, designated the CSO-class supercarrier, is the largest capital ship that was developed by the defunct Covenant Empire. A mutation of the basic Kerel-pattern assault carrier, the supercarriers were 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.
Operational History
Human-Covenant War
Variants
Cauteriser-pattern
Built to the standards of the Medural-pattern assault carrier by the Jiralhanae, 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.
