==Specifications== | |||
The ''Epoch''-class heavy carrier is the heaviest of the [[UNSC carrier]] classes, larger than both the {{Class|Poseidon|light carrier}} and the {{Class|Orion|carrier}} in tonnage. Often playing a vital role in [[UNSC fleet]]s, the heavy carrier is capable of taking extreme damage in combat.<ref name="canon fodder"/> | |||

*The carrier's first appearance will be in an as-of-yet unnamed tabletop miniature wargame that will be released in [[2015]]. ''Epoch''-class heavy carrier's appearance was designed based off of concept art for ''[[Halo 2]]'', ''[[Halo Wars]]'', ''[[Halo 4]]'', and concepts from [[Blur Studio]]. The carrier went through the most revisions out of any other ship designed for the game. The ''Epoch'' was designed to feature aesthetics from various UNSC ships to document a transition between [[Covenant War]] and post-war [[UNSC Navy]] vessels. The structure of the carrier was based off of the {{Class|Phoenix|colony ship}}, although it was designed to give the UNSC's industrial and militaristic feel.<ref name="canon fodder"/> | |||
