The '''''Maugen''-pattern armored cruiser'''{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=265}} {{3Letter|RCS|armored cruiser}} is a [[Covenant]] [[Capital ship|capital]] [[warship]] classification.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}


The '''''Maugen''-pattern armored cruiser'''{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=265}} {{3Letter|RCS|armored cruiser}} is a [[Covenant]] [[Capital ship|capital]] [[warship]] classification.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}
==Overview==
===Design details===
The ''Maugen'' is an older [[design pattern]] of cruiser in the [[Covenant fleet]] inventory, predating the newer and more ubiquitous {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}} by two [[Ages of Reclamation]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}The cruiser bears an extremely similar overall form to its successors, though with a bulkier and (as its name would suggest) more armoured look; the [[nanolaminate]] hull is coated in additional layers of armour plating as opposed to the smoother look of later cruisers. This is in part due to the cruiser's age - when first commissioned, Covenant [[energy shielding]] technology was limited and thus less reliable.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}{{Ref/Site|Id=CFArmory|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-armory-amore|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Armory Amore|D=29|M=10|Y=2016}} While less advanced than more modern vessels, the ''Maugen'' has a reputation for reliability and simple operation. These traits have proven especially useful in the wake of the [[Great Schism]], allowing post-Covenant warlords the ability to maintain powerful capital ships even despite the loss of the empire's vast network of naval depots, [[Huragok]] technicians and legions of skilled [[shipmaster]]s - these ships can be reliably maintained in a resource-scarce environment unlike their more modern counterparts.{{Ref/Reuse|CFArmory}}


==Design details==
Measuring 2,000 meters long, 1,000 meters wide, and 296 meters tall, it is the second-largest known cruiser of the former [[Covenant fleet]], overshadowed only by the {{Pattern|Varric|heavy cruiser}}. The port and starboard sides of the armoured cruiser each contain two primary hangars and a single dedicated [[Space fighter|strikecraft]] hangar, allowing for the deployment of fighters and [[dropship]]s to support the vessel's operation. As on the ''Ket''-pattern battlecruisers, a single [[gravity lift]] is located on the ship's belly, shared with the single [[excavation beam]]. The neck is additionally flanked by two large communications arrays, manifesting each as sets of three curved antennae.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}
The ''RCS''-class armored cruiser was first commissioned when [[Covenant]] [[energy shielding]] technology was far more limited. An older class of [[cruiser]], the class lacked both the firepower and robustness of the later {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}}.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} The armored cruiser's primary roles are patrol and planetary occupation. Measuring 2,000 meters long, 1,000 meters wide, and 296 meters tall, it is the second-largest known cruiser of the former [[Covenant fleet]], overshadowed only by the {{Pattern|Varric|heavy cruiser}}. Armed with [[plasma torpedo]] turrets, [[pulse laser]] point-defense cannons, and a ventral [[energy projector]], it is also outfitted with a stasis enfolder system;{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} this technology is presumably a much larger version of the [[stasis cannon]] used by the {{Pattern|Bkowe'nei|Vampire}}.<ref>'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 200''</ref>


The "R", or Reverence, in the cruiser's three-letter classification code, "RCS", indicates that the cruiser is capable of conducting reconnaissance missions and is capable of excavating [[Forerunner]] artifacts. The "S", or Salvation, denotes that the ''RCS''-class armored cruiser is a dedicated [[warship]].<ref name="canon fodder2">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-have-s-moa '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder: Have S'moa'']</ref>
===Armaments===
The ''Maugen''{{'}}s armament is fairly standard for a Covenant cruiser, though by the modern era considered underpowered when compared to the battlecruisers of the Covenant's navy.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} Its armaments include a single ventral [[Excavation beam|''Excellen''-pattern excavation beam]], 22 anterior [[Plasma cannon (starship)|''Morfen''-pattern plasma cannons]], and a [[Point-defense gun|point-defence]] network of 60 [[Pulse laser turret|''Gon''-pattern pulse laser turrets]].{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} An additional 6 [[Plasma torpedo|''Gon''-pattern plasma torpedo]] silos adorn the ship's dorsal surface.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
 
Alongside the primary armaments, the cruiser is armed with a "stasis enfolder system" located on the ventral surface underneath the neck of the ship. The precise function of this system is unknown, though its name suggests it is of a similar function to the [[Stasis cannon]]s equipped on the {{Pattern|Bkowe'nei|Vampire}} aircraft.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}}
 
===Usage===
The "R", or Reverence, in the cruiser's [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]-assigned [[Covenant ship classification system|three-letter classification code]], "RCS", indicates that the cruiser is capable of conducting reconnaissance missions and is capable of excavating [[Forerunner]] artifacts. The "S", or Salvation, denotes that the ''RCS''-class armored cruiser is a dedicated [[warship]].{{Ref/Site|Id=Have S'moa|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-have-s-moa|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Have S'moa|D=30|M=10|Y=2021}}
 
When originally introduced, ''Maugen''-pattern cruisers served the Covenant empire as its primary missionary and compliance warship.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} However, their obsolence led them to be relagated to rear-line duties,{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Reuse|CFArmory}} working in patrol and occupation roles.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} The ''Maugen''{{'}}s status as a larger vessel also lent it some use as a command vessel for other smaller ships.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}


==Operational history==
==Operational history==
''RCS''-class armored cruisers served in the [[Covenant]]'s [[Covenant fleet|fleet]] for centuries as the empire's primary "missionary and compliance" [[warship]], having allegedly been in service when [[human]]ity was just making its first long-distance ocean voyages. However, the class was eventually supplanted by the more refined {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}}. Many cruisers of the ''RCS'' class were broken down into feedstock for [[High Charity|High Charity's]] [[Assembly Forges]], being reformed and remade into new ships, vehicles, and armor to equip the [[Covenant military]]. The remaining vessels of this class were left as reserve vessels in the [[fleet]]s of important Covenant colonies or transferred to distant reserve fleets to take on various utilitarian roles.<ref name="canon fodder armory">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-armory-amore '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Armory Amore'']</ref>
''Maugen''-pattern cruisers were introduced into Covenant service in the [[Ages of Reclamation|Fifth Age of Reclamation]];{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} around the time that [[human]]ity was only just beginning to make its own early long-distance ocean voyages on [[Earth]]. They served as a mainstay warship in the Covenant fleet for centuries as the empire's primary "missionary and compliance" [[warship]], though the class was eventually supplanted by the more refined {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}}. Many cruisers of the ''Maugen''-pattern were broken down into feedstock for [[High Charity]]'s [[Assembly Forges]], being reformed and remade into new ships, vehicles, and armor to equip the [[Covenant military]].

The ''RCS''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s use during the [[Human-Covenant War]] was largely overshadowed by the ''Ket''-pattern battlecruiser, the mainstay of the fleet.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} At the dawn of the [[Great Schism]], many armored cruisers played an important role in many [[Covenant remnants|remnant factions]] of the Covenant Empire.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} Following the end of the war, many surviving battlecruisers were commandeered by [[Kig-Yar]] scavengers or independent [[Sangheili]] factions. As a result, the ''RCS''-class armored cruiser took on a more predominant role in [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]].{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} Several ''RCS''-class cruisers were assigned to Jul 'Mdama's fleet [[Requiem Campaign|occupying]] [[Requiem]] in [[2558#February|February 2558]], escorted by a much larger number of comparatively diminutive {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}}s.<ref name="H4EVG">'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]'''</ref> One was destroyed when the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} emerged from slipspace and rammed it. Another fled the [[shield world]] after 'Mdama set the planet on a collision course with the [[Epoloch system|local star]].<ref>'''[[Halo 4]]''', ''[[Spartan Ops]]''</ref>
