*In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', the appearance of the Supercarrier is very similar to that of the [[Covenant assault carrier]]. The most obvious difference between the two, apart from their size, is a slightly elongated neck between the fore and aft sections.

The Covenant supercarrier[1] was a heavy warship classification within the Covenant Navy.

Multiple supercarriers of the Second Fleet of Homogeneous Clarity defended the massive space station of High Charity[2] and one such vessel served as the flagship of the Combined Fleet of Righteous Purpose.[3][4] During the Fall of Reach, Long Night of Solace, a supercarrier, destroyed the Template:UNSCship and began deploying numerous ground assets to the surface of Reach. During Operation: UPPERCUT, SPARTAN Jorge-052 transported an improvised Slipspace bomb toward Long Night of Solace aboard the Ardent Prayer, a Covenant corvette. He manually detonated the bomb, destroying both the corvette and the supercarrier at the cost of his own life.[5][6]

Description

Overall, the supercarrier is an extremely large and well-equipped ship, easily dwarfing most other Covenant starship classes. The vessel looks nearly identical to the Covenant assault carrier, as it is comprised of several bulbous sections and a hook-like prow. However, it appears to have a slightly elongated neck between the fore and aft sections. The interior of the ship has yet to be seen, but would most likely have a similar appearance to other Covenant ships.
