The Ket-pattern battlecruiser[3] (UNSC three-letter classification: CCS-class battlecruiser)[8][9] is a Covenant capital warship. It is one of several cruiser types used by the Covenant, each of which is similar in design but differs in size and function.[5][6][4] The Ket-pattern served as one of the empire's most prominent warship classes alongside the Elefen-pattern battlecruiser, succeeded the aging Maugen-pattern armored cruisers, and has since become a workhorse of the empire's various successor states.[2][10]
