(If I was to guess the energy projector might be the ship's only weapon. Guess we'll know more once the ship comes out. Because unless all it can do is ram things I doubt you'd want to use it in your Fleet.)

The DSC-class support ship,[3] also simply referred to as the agricultural support ship, is a type of support vessel that was used by the Covenant, and attached to their wandering fleets.[1]

Specifications

These vessels are much smaller than a Covenant capital ship, and are not designed for combat. Rather, they are designed to provide fresh food for Covenant soldiers.[1][4] They contain large hunting preserves holding many types of animals, to be hunted, killed, and fed to the personnel within the fleet.[1][3] They also contain plants, though it is unknown whether they are used for food or not.[5]

They are primarily crewed by Huragok and Unggoy, with little to no Sangheili on board. They are occasionally commanded by a single Minor Prophet.[1]

Strangely, the "S", or Salvation, in the suport ship's three-letter classification code "DSC" indicates that the ship is a dedicated warship capable of destroying its opponents with energy projectors.[6]

Trivia

On the Halo Wars Skirmish map Release, there are several agricultural support ships crashed on the the map.
