{{Main|Covenant Carrier}}

#The term "Carrier" is mentioned in this quote, "The carrier, the ''Lawgiver'', turned, and lasers stitched the frigate. Several beams painted its hull, heating the shields - before another destroyer crossed the line of fire." This is during a Covenant battle between Elite and Brute ships. There are no UNSC personnel present (except for the Prowler ''Dusk'' viewing from a distance).<REF>Page 195, of [[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]</reF>

#In [[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], a UNSC destroyer is mentioned as colliding with a Covenant carrier three times its size. Assuming the destroyer is 485m long, that places the Covenant carrier at roughly 1455m long.  This makes it different that the [[Assualt Carrier]] because that class of ship is 5346 meters long

{{Main|Covenant Cruiser}}

#It is mentioned in Halo Canon, "There were '''Covenant Cruisers''' and larger carriers; there were even bigger vessels with five bulbous sections that were two kilometers stem to stern and had a dozen deadly energy projectors."<REF>Page 297 of [[Halo: First Strike]]</REF>

#In [[Halo: First Strike]], it is stated that the Covenant cruiser is smaller than the [[Covenant Carrier]].  Now in this [[:File:CapitalShips-scale.gif|HBO image]] it is stated that the Covenant Cruiser is a in fact [[Covenant CCS-class Battlecruiser]] but the Battlecruiser is 1782m long therefore the HBO image is mislabeled.  This is proven by the existence of the [[Covenant Carrier]] which as shown above is 1455m long and smaller than the Battlecruiser at 1782m long.

"He saw the faint outlines of dozens of Covenant battleships in low orbit."<REF> [[Halo: First Strike]] Page 32, lines 11 and 12.</ref>

{{Main|CAR-class Frigate}}

In [[Transmissions|transmissions]], it states that the ''SCS Hermes II'' recieved a transmission from, "CAR Contrition (DE H c-5)".  That is all the information provided about the ship.

{{Main|CCS-class Battlecruiser}}

*'''Cortana:''' "Our fighters are mopping up the last of their recon picket now, nothing serious. But, I've isolated approach signatures from multiple [[CCS-class|CCS]] battle groups, make it 3 capitol ships per group. And in about 90 seconds they'll be all over us."<ref>[[Cortana]] [[Pillar of Autumn (Level)]]</ref>.

*HBO calls the [[Truth and Reconciliation]] a Covenant Battlecruiser in this [[:File:UNSC-Covenant-scalechart4.gif|image]] but no mention of CCS-class
