Covenant Supercruiser

The Covenant Supercruiser was a classification of extremely powerful capital Covenant warships within the Covenant Navy.

Physical Characteristics and Armament
Its length of 3.5 kilometers was over three times that of the UNSC.

These ships were armed with at least 5 energy projector turrets and were durable enough to withstand one nuclear mine detonation, or even three MAC rounds and nearly five hundred Archer missiles. However, during the Battle of Reach, it used a hit-and-run tactic to avoid fire from the ODPs' "Super" MACs.

Operational Use
One of these warships led the Covenant invasion Fleet during the the First Battle of Reach in August 2552, where it destroyed many UNSC ships, like the Musashi, the Minotaur and the Herodotus, but was destroyed by the . The Autumn launched a remote controlled Longsword armed with a Shiva missile under the Supercruiser's shields, multiplying the destructive blast exponentially the shields containing the blast.

Weapons
The Covenant Supercruiser's weapon systems seem limited, but extremely powerful. It's main cannon shoots a thin needle beam at light speed, enabling it to cut through the hull armor of several UNSC ships at a time. First described as a type of sniping ship because of its combat tactics, this weapon can be described as similar to the Beam Rifle. This weapon needs to charge over time, but once charged can unleash it's wrath with deadly pinpoint accuracy.

Complement
Given its gigantic size (second only to the Assault Carrier and Supercarrier), it is supposed to be able to carry hundreds of fighters and/or dropships. Moreover it probably carries large amounts of ground vehicles and troops, possibly Legions.
