===Crew and Complement=== | |||
Being designed as a support ship first, the ''DSC''-class had an unusually-large crew and small complement, carrying over ten thousand men. Of these, only seven [[Sangheili|Obedientaries]] and 150 Warriors stood ready to defend the ship from boarders. The rest was made up of civilians, with 9,800 [[Menial]]s which manned most of the ship's systems and twenty [[Huragok]]s which maintained much of the Covenant's technology. Other crewmembers included the sole [[Minor Prophet]], forty Hieromonks and tewn Celebrants.<ref name="warfleet"/> | |||
In a regular fleet, the Minor Prophet is expected to serve the [[Supreme Commander]] as a religious authority, logistics coordinator, and mediator.<ref name="warfleet"/> | |||
