- "The crown jewel of the whole Covenant fleet, CSO-class supercarriers are much capable variation of the CAS, though those massive vessels are rare. A supercarrier alone can lay siege to an entire planet and quarantine it in less than ten cycles."
- ―A scholar, teaching about the CSO at the Covenant War Academy on High Charity.
The Nuvaar-pattern supercarrier, designated the CSO-class supercarrier, is the largest capital ship that was developed by the defunct Covenant Empire.

Cauteriser-pattern
Manufactured locally on Doisac, this warship is instantly recognisable as a pattern of the CSO-class. The Cauteriser-pattern supercarrier is a more rugged ship, focusing on heavy armor and firepower over mobility. It has much of the same weapons as the Nuvaar, but is significantly weaker. The sole Cauteriser-pattern supercarrier is the Lydus Hand, which was built over several years until 2557 using smuggled Covenant technology to produce a CSO-like ship based on the Medural-pattern and the later Conqueror-pattern assault carrier
