Ships of the United Nations Space Command

This fanfiction article, Ships of the United Nations Space Command, was written by Auguststorm1945. Please do not edit this fiction without the writer's permission.

This article, Ships of the United Nations Space Command, is currently under active construction.

The United Nations Space Command and the Colonial Military Administration utilized several specific types of spacecraft throughout their centuries of service under the Unified Earth Government.

Ship types

Carriers

Supercarriers

The largest warships of the fleet, supercarriers serve the navy as movers of massive quantities of troops, equipment, vehicles, and starfighters. Notable supercarriers include the following:

• (2197) Leviathan-class supercarriers
• (2493) Punic-class supercarriers

Heavy carriers

Heavy carriers are the primary carrier class of the UNSC, fulfilling the traditional role of single-ship carrier and troopship.

• (2157) Solar Princess-class heavy carriers
• (2160) Empress of Mars-class heavy carriers
• (2165) Endurance-class heavy carriers
• (22XX) Triumphant-class heavy carriers
• (2395) Star Guardian-class heavy carriers
• (2457) Rome-class heavy carriers
• (2491) Epoch-class heavy carriers
• (2527) Belisarius-class heavy carriers

Assault carriers

Assault carriers are specialized for planetary operations, especially for the deployment of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers.

• (2163) Whirlwind-class assault carriers
• (2163) Inferno-class assault carrier
• (2163) Typhoon-class heavy assault carrier
• (2164) Fearless-class assault carriers

Light carriers

The smallest combatant carrier type of the UNSC, light carriers most often serve as high-speed transports in times of crisis. During the Human-Covenant War, the UNSC regularly repurposed its light carriers as evacuation transports for colonial populations.

• (2160) Celestial Radiance-class light carriers
• (2387) Steadfast-class light carriers

• (2498) Advantage-class light carriers

Battleships

Super battleships

The designation of super battleship exists as the logical conclusion to the philosophy of overwhelming firepower. Primarily a theoretical warship type, only seven super battleships have been completed and commissioned by the United Nations Space Command.

Super-heavy battleships

Super-heavy battleships are intended as combat superiority juggernauts, capable of surviving considerable damage while carrying a battle group's worth of armaments.

Heavy battleships

The heavy battleships of the UNSC follow the traditional exchange of speed and maneuverability for armor and armament, and are suitably employed primarily for planetary defense.

• (2164) Deep Tranquility-class heavy battleship
• (2168) Eclipse-class heavy battleship
• (2169) Victory-class heavy battleships
• (2170) Preeminence-class heavy battleship
• (2177) Vindication-class heavy battleships
• (2179) Thunder From The Heavens-class heavy battleship
• (24XX) Sovereign-class heavy battleships
• (2532) Implacable-class heavy battleships

Light battleships

Light battleships have served the UNSC since its inception as heavy-hitting space combatants.

• (2165) Armstrong-class light battleship
• (2167) Crater-Maker-class light battleship
• (2167) Lunar Hero-class light battleship
• (2169) Do Unto Others-class light battleship
