Considered state-of-the-art when it was introduced, the ''Orion''-class assault carrier incorporated the miniaturized and reconfigurable automated factories and chemical processors that were commonly found in [[Colony ship|colony support vessels]], allowing the carriers to produce fuel, spare parts, and rarely even complete combat vehicles without outside assistance. As such, each ''Orion''-class assault carrier holds a number of cargo lighters and resource gatherers to support its troops and support ships in harsh expeditionary environments.<ref name="canon fodder armory"/> Of moderate tonnage by carrier standards, the ''Orion'' outmasses the {{Class|Poseidon|light carrier}} but is outmassed by the {{Class|Epoch|heavy carrier}}.<ref name="cannon fodder">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-in-the-loop | ===Specifications=== | ||

The ''Orion''-class assault carrier is armed with two heavy [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]s, which serve as the carrier's primary weapon. In addition, the assault carrier is outfitted with numerous [[missile]] batteries and [[point-defense gun]]s as secondary and tertiary weaponry, respectively.<ref name="fb"/> | The ''Orion''-class assault carrier is armed with two heavy [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]s, which serve as the carrier's primary weapon.

== | ===Service history=== | ||
The ''Orion''-class assault carrier was built for war against rebellious [[human colonies]] during the [[Insurrection]]. The class was conceived as a new type of carrier that could directly aid the [[United Nations Space Command]]'s sustained ground operations in addition to maintaining aerospace control over contested worlds. Throughout the Insurrection, the appearance of a [[battle group]] led by an ''Orion''-class assault carrier was seen as a symbol of the UNSC's military strength.<ref name="canon fodder armory"/> | The ''Orion''-class assault carrier was built for war against rebellious [[human colonies]] during the [[Insurrection]].
