The ''Maugen'' is an older [[design pattern]] of cruiser in the [[Covenant fleet]] inventory, predating the newer and more ubiquitous {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}} by two [[Ages of Reclamation]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}The cruiser bears an extremely similar overall form to its successors, though with a bulkier and (as its name would suggest) more armoured look; the [[nanolaminate]] hull is coated in additional layers of armour plating as opposed to the smoother look of later cruisers. This is in part due to the cruiser's age - when first commissioned, Covenant [[energy shielding]] technology was limited and thus less reliable.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}{{Ref/Site|Id=CFArmory|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-armory-amore|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Armory Amore|D=29|M=10|Y=2016}} While less advanced than more modern vessels, the ''Maugen'' has a reputation for reliability and simple operation. These traits have proven especially useful in the wake of the [[Great Schism]], allowing post-Covenant warlords the ability to maintain powerful capital ships even despite the loss of the empire's vast network of naval depots, [[Huragok]] technicians and legions of skilled [[shipmaster]]s - these ships can be reliably maintained in a resource-scarce environment unlike their more modern counterparts.{{Ref/Reuse|CFArmory}} | The ''Maugen'' is an older [[design pattern]] of cruiser in the [[Covenant fleet]] inventory, predating the newer and more ubiquitous {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}} by two [[Ages of Reclamation]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}The cruiser bears an extremely similar overall form to its successors, though with a bulkier and (as its name would suggest) more armoured look; the [[nanolaminate]] hull is coated in additional layers of armour plating as opposed to the smoother look of later cruisers.

Measuring 2,000 meters long, 1,000 meters wide, and 296 meters tall, it is the second-largest known cruiser of the former [[Covenant fleet]], overshadowed only by the {{Pattern|Varric|heavy cruiser}}. The port and starboard sides of the armoured cruiser each contain two primary hangars and a single dedicated [[Space fighter|strikecraft]] hangar, allowing for the deployment of fighters and [[dropship]]s to support the vessel's operation. As on the ''Ket''-pattern battlecruisers, a single [[gravity lift]] is located on the ship's belly, shared with the single [[excavation beam]]. The neck is additionally flanked by two large communications arrays, manifesting each as sets of three curved antennae.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} | Measuring 2,000 meters long, 1,000 meters wide, and 296 meters tall, it is the second-largest known cruiser of the former [[Covenant fleet]], overshadowed only by the {{Pattern|Varric|heavy cruiser}}.
