Maintaining a vaguely-triangular silhouette with a curved aft and holes cut into its superstructure, the ''DSC''-class is immediately distinguished from any other class of Covenant warship. The rear and fore sections are connected with four massive arches that are angled slightly outwards, with a wide but thin platform connecting the port and starboard sides. It is here that the support ship's Tertiary [[Assembly Forges]] are located, made up of factories and workshops that manufacture food packs, maintenance kits, clothing and even small arms for its tenant fleet. Should they produce more material then needed, they ship off their products to [[High Charity]] for redistribution. Carefully protected by the ship's superstructures are two massive hunting domes, which serve as training areas, recreational zones, cloisters of worship, and animal paddocks. They are divided between multiple unique biomes, although these are usually comprised of environments comfortable to the [[San'Shyuum]] and the Sangheili. However, these can be adapted to service the particular needs of other species, such as vermiaries that sustain [[Lekgolo]] colonies transplanted from their homeworld of [[Te]]. On the very back of the vessel is a tall semi-circular structure that extends both from the top and bottom. The outer surface is potmarked with numerous relays and mediator consoles for the ship's [[Supraluminal communications|proselytziation network]], which allows the [[Hierarchs|Prophets]] to reach out to faithful hearts and coordinate the military and administrative activities across the Covenant's many worlds.{{Ref/Reuse|warfleet}}

A variant of the ''DSC''-class built and maintained by the [[Ministry of Preparation]] has the larger aft hunting dome removed. Instead, it is filled with arcane instrumentation and a staff of chirugeons to create [[Prelate]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|warfleet}}
