The Mjern-pattern agricultural support ship (UNSC three-letter classification: DSC-class support ship) is a type of support vessel that was used by the Covenant attached to their wandering fleets.

Overview

Unlike most Covenant vessels, the Mjern-pattern agricultural support ship was not designed solely for combat, but also to provide fresh food, water, recreational opportunities, replacement parts, and more for their attached fleet. These support ships generally contain large hunting preserves holding many types of animals to be hunted, killed, and fed to the personnel of the fleet. During the time of the Covenant, vessels of the class were primarily crewed by Huragok and Unggoy, with little to no Sangheili on board, and were commanded by a single Minor Prophet. The "S" (for Salvation) in the UNSC's "DSC" hull classification code for the Mjern-pattern indicates that the ship is a dedicated warship,
