Sanghelios Concordat Starships {WIP}

You will notice with Sanghelios Concordat vessels of all types that they are of a green-tinted colouration. This was adopted by the Sangheili during the Great Schism as a nod to their pre-covenant days, where green was their primary armourment colouration, so as to show the difference between the then 'Covenant Seperatist' vessels and their 'Covenant Loyalist' enemies.

All compliment numbers listed are estimates, as numbers vary greatly dependant on a vessels situation and mission specification.

Starfighter Classification ships are an important, if small, group of ships that act as crippling weapons against enemy vessels during ship-to-ship combat. Starfighters are often sent to cripple subsystems of enemy vessels or to intercept other starfighter craft to prevent them from doing such. For this reason many capital ships have hangers filled with these vessels that can, in Carrier Clasification ships, contain hundreds of the smaller Starfighters.

Type-31 XMF, 'Seraph':

The Type-31 XMF, otherwise known as the Seraph-class Starfighter, is a widely used Sanghelios Concordat starfighter, essentially the Sangheili's counterpart to the UNSC's Longsword-class interceptor and the Promethean Fence-class fighter-bomber.

The Seraph was styled with a teardrop-like design, to reduce drag effects when in-atmosphere, due to the poor handling of the of the older (now discontinued) Terasque-class Heavy Fighters. Seraph fighters are normally stored in racks inside the hangers of Sanghelios Concordat ships. Mechanical arms grab a Seraph from the rack and place them in the hanger's bay, allowing for a pilot to enter. Many of these ships can be seen in an orbit-like motion around Sanghelios Concordat capital ships, where they defend them against any approaching vessels. Seraphs are even capable of powering down completely in space, making them unseeable to the sensors of Covenant, UNSC and even Promethean vessels, allowing them to slip passed their long-range defenses.

The Sanghelios Concordat has kept the Seraph as their main space-based attack fighter and bomber, which means that occasionally a Ship Master will order their Seraphs into an in-atmosphere air superiority/bombing roll. Unfortuantely the tear-drop design only marginally aids the Seraph in in-atmosphere combat, where it is still clumsy and sluggish compared to the UNSCs Longsword and Shortsword vessels which respond much better. For this reason Ship Masters tend to utilise Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft, 'Banshees', for air superiority and air-ground combat although the Seraphs are faster and have much more firepower.

Ship Masters of the Sanghelios Concordat remain firm on their usage of the "Two Squad" tactic of deploying Seraphs in groups of ten, where they are effective in countering other Starfighter vessels, while also being used to strafe or harass much larger Capital Ships. Seraphs are capable of combating these larger vessels and their defenders due to the shielding employed by them and their heavy weaponry.

The weaponry of a Seraph includes: heavy plasma cannons, for prolonged dogfight usage; pulse lasers, for automatic fireing on missiles; plasma charges, which are used for strafing larger vessels and performing air-ground bombing runs on enemy installations.

Type-27 XMF, 'Space Banshee':

The Type-27 XMF 'Banshee Interceptor' has seen continued service in the Sanghelios Concordat's naval forces as their standard Starfighter support craft, where it sees extensive service alongside the Seraph. It is a vacuum-sealed variant of the Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft, 'Banshee'.

Overall the Type-27 XMF is not dissimilar to the appearence and design of the Type-26 GSA, the 'Banshee' that has long been the Sangheili's primary air superiority vessel. It is equipped with two forward-pointing wings that together provide speed boosts to the vehicle when needed. They Type-27 is also equipped with two nose-mounted Class-2 Plasma Cannons and a Class-2 Fuel Rod Cannon.

Generally the Type-27s are used in a "Wasp Swarm" type of fighting, where vast numbers of these vehicles are employed alongside the harder-hitting Seraphs to provide more harassment on enemy targets and provide a distraction for the Seraphs. The Type-27 can also be utilised in-atmosphere, but due to their higher cost to produce than the Type-26 they are rarely employed in anything but space combat, where they serve a similar purpose to Humanities extensive drone fighter network and the Promethean Picket-class vessels.

Technical specifications:

• Length- 10.9 metres (36 ft)
  
  
• Width- 8.6 metres (28 ft)
  
  
• Height- 2.8 metres (9.2 ft)

The Type-52 "Phantom" Gunboat is a specialised version of the Type-52 Troop Carrier that has been reinforced with extra playing, vacuum sealed and fitted with more powerful shielding and weaponry. This version of the Type-52 found itself in the service of the Sanghelios Concordat upon their founding, providing heavy fire support for the other Starfighter-class vessels and ensuring combat superiority in close-quarters space combat. The vessel is crewed by one pilot, usually Sangheili, one co-pilot of any species and one heavy gunner of any species.

The Type-52 is fitted with two extra engines on either side, mounted to the extra fins at the back of the vehicle. These engines provide the speed and manoeuvrability needed in space combat. A chin-mounted heavy plasma cannon forms the main, and only, manually controlled weapon onboard the vehicle. A battery of two smaller automated plasma turrets can be found on both sides of the vehicle and one mounted in a ventral position, making five automated turrets overall.

The armour on the gunboat is heavily resistant to weaponry of a similar scale as a UNSC Sabre's cannons and a Seraph's main plasma turret. Furthermore the gunboats are outfitted with a powerful shield that can be focused in one direction to resist even more powerful weaponry that the Sabre's auto cannon, for example the defensive cannons on board a UNSC repair and refit station. For this reason missiles are often used to counter Gunboats and even then fired from behind.

Technical specifications:

• Length- 32.5 metres (107 ft)
  
  
• Width- 20.5 metres (67 ft)
  
  
• Height- 19.6 metres (64 ft)
  
  
• Mass- 8.9 tonnes
  
  
• Engine- Impulse Drive
  
  
• Slipspace Drive- Impulse Drive, capable slipspace jump over short distance.
  
  
• Shielding- Projected shielding that can be focused into a single direction to increase its defensive capabilities to the extent that it is imperveous to substained light starship weaponry like the autocannons on UNSC space stations and even Medusa Missiles.
  
  
• Hull- Green-tinted Sanghelios-manufactured Ship Armouring, comparatively thick hull, capable of withstanding massively prolonged bursts of light starship weaponry such as point defense turrets or autocannons. Capable of withstanding eight to twelve Medusa Missiles into the rear or sides, more in the front.
  
  
• Sensor systems- Medium-ranged sensor array capable of producing a three-dimensional radar in the cockpit of the vessel.
  
  
• Navigation system- Pilots or automated control from a carrier vessel.
  
  
• Interior- The interior of the Type-52 Gunboat consists of two sections. The cockpit is further broken down into two sections, the higher containing seating for two pilots and accompanying command consoles with the lower, down a ladder, containing seating for the Heavy Gunner and their gunnery console. The aft section of the vessel is used as light storage for emergency provisions and for maintainence of the engines and automated cannons.

The Support Starship classification within the Sanghelios Concordat fleets serve many varied purposes that don't usually combat, but instead more specialised rolls that more combat-ready vessels are not capable of performing. Covert infiltration, exfiltration, intelligence gathering, supply of fleets and even starship tugs are all rolls played by these ships.

DAV-class Light Corvette, 'Stealth Corvette':

The DAV-Class Light Corvette is the main Sanghelios Concordat infiltration, exfiltration and covert operations vessel used by the Sangheili naval forces. These vessels are lightly staffed, when compared to vessels of similar size, and are not equipped with only a handful of Type-27 XMF Starfighter-class vessels and several Type-52 Troop Transports and accompanying light ground vehicles.

The DAV-class is very similar to in implementation to the UNSC's Prowler-class Stealth Corvette. The DAV-class utilises powerful active camouflage systems to render the vessels not only imperceptible to visual identification but also to UNSC, Covenant and even Promethean sensor arrays. This is further enhanced by advanced electronic countermeasures and extensive heat sinks that render the vessel unidentifiable from the background of space and in-atmosphere locations.

These electronic countermeasures also serve to defend the vessel by interfering with enemy missiles, ship-board computers and Starfighter HUDs. Their advanced sensor arrays are also impressive, able to gather highly detailed intel about enemy vessels, compliments and even planet readouts and three dimensional holograms of structures in space, above and below ground.

Technical specifications:

• Length- 485 metres (1,590 ft)
  
  
• Width- 202 metres (660 ft)
  
  
• Height- 115 metres (380 ft)
  
  
• Mass- 7640 tonnes
  
  
• Engine- Four Stealth Repulsor Engines
  
  
• Slipspace Drive- Equipped, typical Sangheili Slipspace Drive capable of long-range Slipspace jumps.
  
  
• Shielding- Equipped, able to withstand 1 standard MAC blasts.
  
  
• Hull- Green-tinted Sanghelios-manufactured Ship Armouring able to withstand about 1 standard MAC blast.
  
  
• Sensor systems- Laser beam transceiver that is capable of recieving detailed ship specifications. Incredibly advanced sensor arrays that work to gather highly detailed intel on almost any target.
  
  
• Navigation system- Associated Intelligence-assisted navigation, automated piloting and manual piloting available.
  
  
• Interior- Bow-positioned command chair overlooks control room of vessel's support systems, corridors link bridge to central hanger bay, living quarters and cantines positioned off these corridors. More corridors lead to the rear of the vessel from the central hanger and cargo bay towards the engines. Rooms coming off these corridors include armoury, storage, repair workshops and eventually end in the engine room.

Agricultural Support Ship:

Agricultural Support Ships are a type of support vessel used by the Sanghelios Concordat, and attached to their wandering Sanghelios Concordat Fleets. These vessels are much smaller than most Sanghelios Concordat capital ships, and are not designed for combat. Rather, they are designed to provide fresh food for Sanghelios Concordat soldiers. They contain large hunting preserves holding many types of animals, to be killed and fed to the crew within the Fleet, as well as plants that are harvested and grown like any other planet-based agriculture station.

They are only crewed by Huragok and Unngoy, with almost no Sangheili on board. They are commanded by a single Sangheili Shipmaster.

Technical specifications:

• Length- 765 metres (2 510 ft)
  
  
• Width- 436 metres (1 431 ft)
  
  
• Height- 425 metres (1 394 ft)
  
  
• Mass- 96126 tonnes.
  
  
• Engine- Two Large Repulsor Engines.
  
  
• Slipspace Drive- Equipped, typical Sangheili Slipspace Drive capable of long-range Slipspace jumps.
  
  
• Shielding- Equipped, capable of withstanding one standard MAC blast or equivelant.
  
  
• Hull- Green-tinted Sanghelios-manufactured Ship Armouring able to withstand about 1 standard MAC blast.
  
  
• Sensor systems- Standard medium-long range sensor system, relies more on fleet sensor data than its own personal sensor array.
  
  
• Navigation system- Associated Intelligence assisted automatic flight, with manual piloting available.
  
  
• Interior-
  
  
• Countermeasures-
  
  • N/A
    
  
  
  
• Complement-
  
  • Hanger-
    
    • Small yet very busy, room for three Type-52 Troop Carriers (or equivalent) for cross-fleet distribution of food.
      
    
    
  • Vehicles-
    
    • Escape Pods for Crew.
      
    
    
  • Crew-
    
    • Minor crew of around forty, mostly Unggoy, Yanme'e and Kig-Yar with one Sangheili captain.
      
    • Hydroponic staff of around thirty individuals, mostly Unggoy, Yanme'e and Kig-Yar.
      
    • Very small security detail of fifteen, again mostly Unggoy, Yanme'e and Kig-Yar. Often, but not always, has a Sangheili as a commander.
      
    
    
  • Other-
    
    • Hydroponics Bay, a vast series of rooms where terrestrial plants are grown and harvested for the entire fleet. This is the single most important part of the ship as it produces fresh food for the fleet (which grants higher moral) and also serves as the main food and plant provider for the neighbouring Hunting Reserve.
      
    • Hunting Reserve. Four vast compartments serve as four desperate ecosystems, each one carefully replicating the environment of the race's home worlds.
      
      • The Sangheili's is a deep, clearly alien, forest filled with herbivorous beasts native to the forests of Sanghelios, a favourite food of Sangheili.
        
      • The Unggoy reserves are vast marshland filled with amphibians, reptiles and few mammals that the Unggoy call delicacies. Few of these are edible to the other races due to high toxicity levels. The environment of this room is also toxic to the other races, so it is staffed only by Unggoy and is a common place to find the Unggoy populations of the crew relaxing without their breathing apparatus.
        
      • The Yanme'e hunting reserve is the smallest of the reserves and is more a cattle shed than a true hunting reserve. The 'cattle' are very large beetles with a thick carapace that the Yanme'e diet primarily consists of. These beetles are bred and kept on a wide, grassy plain.
        
      • The Kig-Yar hunting reserve is the largest reserve, due to the Kig-Yar's carnivorous diet, high food requirement and that the animals in this reserve are edible by all the other races too. It is, like the Sangheili's woodland. Albeit one with low gravity that makes it uncomfortable for the other races to staff.
        
      • The Lekgolo require no reserve and are fed on specific plants and imported minerals from the Lekgolo colony-worlds.
        
      
      
    
    
  
  
  
• Armament-
  
  • Pulse Laser Defense System, capable of shooting down incoming missiles and damaging fighters.

Seperatist destroyer refers to at least two different warship classifications within the Seperatist Navy.

Two types of Seperatist destroyers have been encountered. Destroyers with a length of 1,500 meters (4,900 ft) were seen in various battles early in the Human-Covenant War, and a smaller variant with a length of approximately 647 meters (2,120 ft) was present during the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV.

The destroyer is extremely well-armed, boasting multiple point-defense pulse laser turrets, plasma torpedo launcher(s), a single Energy Projector, and a full complement of the deadly Seraph-class Starfighters.

This dangerous warship classification has the distinctive three huge sections of most heavier Seperatist warships, mirroring the lethality of its larger cousins. They are used as escorts for battlegroups using larger ship classes, and are able to hold their own in combat, while protecting their battlegroup from threats.

The Cruiser is a type of heavily-armed and armored capital warship in Seperatist fleets, emphasizing weaponry and armor over starfighter complements.

Even though both major fleets possessed warships of such classifications, the tactical philosophies of the two factioms were different. The Seperatist, while possessing many different cruiser classifications, used carriers as the powerhouses of their fleets.

However, it should be noted that Seperatist cruisers dwarfed their UNSC counterparts and are much more powerful. For example, even the smallest Seperatist cruisers contain powerful shields that are capable of withstanding several MAC rounds.

The Seperatist Light Cruiser is a capital warship classification within the Seperatist Navy. Covenant Light Cruisers have been described as resembling "luminous manta rays". Several Light Cruisers were used over Reach during the occupation campaign. Their numbers are limited and thus see infrequent use.

Technical specifications:

A Seperatist Cruiser is a type of heavy-tonnage Seperatist starship within the Seperatist Navy. The Seperatist Cruiser, however, should not be confused with the Seperatist CCS-class Battlecruiser.

The Cruiser is larger than the Seperatist Light Cruiser but is smaller than the Seperatist Carrier. They are armed with five Plasma Turrets and laterally-mounted pulse lasers, but lack a compliment of supplementary Seraph-class Starfighters. Like other Seperatist ships, the Seperatist Cruiser is roughly oblong in shape with touches of a purple and blue color scheme.

Technical specifications:

• Length- 1445 metres (4,740 ft)
  
  
• Width- 756 metres (2,480 ft)

The CCS-class Battlecruiser is a heavy warship used by the Seperatist Navy, one of several different designs of capital ships they employ. The primary use of these ships are either to transport ground forces, or to engage enemy ships, as they are quite capable of engaging in ship to ship combat. They are also commonly tasked with glassing operations.

The CCS classification is the most well known type of Seperatist warship, one of the few which the UNSC has been able to gain decent intelligence from, via the Truth and Reconciliation in particular. The battlecruiser is a long, vaguely organic-shaped spacecraft (often referred to having many bulbous sections), capable of launching dozens of fighters, dropships, and Boarding Ships. Typically armed with a vast arsenal of energy weapons, it is smaller than the rarer and more powerful Assault Carriers, but larger than the more common Frigates and Destroyers, equipped with the standard energy shield generators, pulse laser turrets, and plasma torpedo launchers, and used as a main heavy warship by Covenant Seperatist. It appears to be capable of both space warfare and supporting ground operations, capable of deploying upwards of a thousand troops of various races, as well as support vehicles and aircraft through its gravity lift.

The Control Room of a CCS classification, known as the "bridge" in human terminology, is located, as on all known Seperatist starships, in the midsection of the Battlecruiser, protected by thick armor in addition to the ship's shields. A raised platform in the center of the spacious room ringed with holographic controls is the Combat Information Center, or CIC, of the Control Room. These controls are most likely for fire control, navigation, sensors, ship diagnostics, internal security monitors, etc. In front of the command center is a large holographic "banner" which is used for navigation purposes. The crew in the control room usually consists of a Sangheili Ship Master who stands on the central platform and is in charge of giving orders and commanding his vessel, accompanied by, in most cases, powerful Sangheili commanders that patrol the lower level of the control room, who are responsible for maintaining the security of the ship.

Like most warships in the Seperatist fleet, the CCS-class is also equipped with a single ventrally-mounted gravity lift, enabling the quick and easy transportation of personnel, vehicles, equipment and supplies to a planet's surface. Objects or personnel placed in it are propelled upward or downward rapidly by an anti-gravity field, and are able to gently disembark, despite the high speeds occupants can reach.

The CCS classification has at least two brigs for holding prisoners, though they may have more since these ships have not been fully explored. Each is a rectangular room with four force field-secured cells on either side, for a total of eight per brig. Each cell can accommodate a large number of prisoners, although normally only one is placed in each cell, probably for security purposes against the possibility of an organized escape attempt. The fields are impenetrable to all hand held weaponry, projectile or energy, but can be lowered by a holographic control panel on a raised platform on the far side of the brig opposite the entrance, the guards post. The cells are arranged at the periphery of a spacious room, with guards patrolling the central section. The guards usually have active camouflage, using their stealth to monitor the prisoners.

There are at least four hangar bays aboard the a vessel of CCS classification - two to starboard and two to port side. They are each three-tiered, with a large amount of space between the floors and ceilings of each level. Each bay contains various vehicles, such as Spirit-class dropships, on the bottom floor, with a pillar-like platform used for dismounting passengers rising up and connecting to the second level. Seperatist troops are arrayed upon the second and third floors, with multiple stationary plasma shields and Shade infantry plasma turrets.

A plasma magnetic containment field operates at the mouth of the hangars, retaining atmosphere while in space transit. It denies the movement of all forms of matter attempting to enter or leave the shuttle bays.

Most of the ship is comprised of a labyrinth of network of corridors, with circuitry concealed behind purple metal casings. At junctions, gaps in the ceiling and floor appear to accommodate Huragok maintenance personnel, allowing them to float between levels easily and quickly. The corridors appear to be of a curved shape, with doors that open by a three-way system.

There are various, virtually indestructible doors upon the CCS classification. Unlocked ones are outlined in white light, while locked ones have crimson light. They are protected from electronic intrusion by a 128,000-bit modulating encryption key, but this key can be penetrated by a UNSC AI, after a couple of minutes.

Every ship obviously features an engine room. The engines are, of course, more powerful and faster than human engines. This is likely because the Seperatist aids the primary nuclear power source with a plasma power source, allowing power to almost be doubled. The engine room, one could imagine, would be a large chamber with nuclear reactors and possibly plasma energy cores. Also there would be large tubes containing the actual engines. There would also be a manual terminal where repairs and orders from the engines can manually be made, should the Control Room's control over the engines ever stop working.

The Reverence-class Cruiser is a Seperatist warship classification within the Seperatist Navy.

The Reverence-class Cruiser is stated to be 3 kilometers long, twice as long as the noticeably armored and fortified Seperatist Destroyer. This Cruiser classification fielded and supported a vast complement of soldiers and was also used as a Flagship for small Task Forces.

Although the Reverence-class boasted two Energy Projectors and seven Plasma Torpedo tubes, it could only fire one Energy Projector at a time, typically only the forward-mounted one and two Plasma Torpedoes simultaneously due to energy constraints.

Reverence-class Cruisers are 3 kilometers long; about the length of the UNSC Carrier.

Technical specifications:

• Length- 3063 metres (10,049 ft)
  
  
• Width- 1025 metres (3363 ft)

The Seperatist Battleship was a heavy Capital Warship classification within the Seperatist Navy. This warship was approximately two kilometers long, had five bulbous sections and bristled with a dozen Energy Projectors - enough weapons and firepower to decimate any Loyalist Fleet from long range. It was larger than most Seperatist warships, even surpassing the keel length of the CCS-class Battlecruiser, but itself was dwarfed by the Seperatist Assault Carrier.

The Seperatist Supercruiser is a classification of extremely powerful capital Seperatist warships within the Seperatist Navy.

Its length of 3.5 kilometers was over three times that of the UNSC Marathon-class Cruiser.

These ships were durable enough to withstand one nuclear mine detonation, or even three Magnetic Accelerator Cannon rounds and nearly five hundred Archer missiles. However, during the Fall of Reach, it used a hit-and-run tactic to avoid fire from the Orbital Defense Platforms' "Super" MACs.

Technical specifications:

• Length- 3576 metres (11,732 ft)
  
  
• Width- 1308 metres (4,291 ft)

A Carrier is a general starship classification, with warships of different sub-classifications within the Seperatist fleets. Such a vessel is formally defined as "a large warship carrying fighters equipped with flight decks for takeoffs and landings". There are likely multiple classes of carrier within this general designation.

The general combat role of a carrier in combat is to deploy starfighters, such as Seraphs. They also possess weapons themselves, not just starfighters, to protect themselves in combat when their fighters are unable to defend them. In planetary occupation missions, carriers are mobile deployers of ground forces to subjugate an enemy planet, launching dropships and top-cover fighters.

The navy of the Seperatist had different classifications of carriers. For example, the Seperatist sported Light Carriers, Assault Carriers, and Supercarriers. Assault Carriers were on the scale of five kilometers long, giving a scale of the keel length of carrier-type warships.

The Seperatist Carrier is a heavy warship classification within the Seperatist Navy. It is 1,455 meters long and is armed with Pulse Laser turrets and two plasma torpedoes. Its primary role in combat is to dispatch single ship star fighters and other smaller ships, as it boasts three squadrons of Seraph fighters, two hundred Banshees and thirty-four Spirits/Phantoms. These ships are carried in the thirteen launch bays.

Technical specifications:

• Length- 1,455 metres (4,770 ft)

The Seperatist Assault Carrier is a Seperatist capital ship classification of the Seperatist Navy. These ships possess an expansive hangar bay, capable of transporting large numbers of Seraph fighters, Phantom dropships, boarding craft, and large fleets of Ghosts and Wraiths, along with one to two Scarabs, and at one time two UNSC frigates docked inside ones launch bay, showing the vastness of the vessel.

Assault Carriers are also used as Flagships, leading Seperatist Fleets into battle. Though designed for planetary combat, they also excel at ship-to-ship combat, possessing multiple pulse laser batteries, plasma torpedo launchers and at least one energy projector.

Assault Carriers are much larger than CCS-class Battlecruisers and standard Carriers; they are more rare and more heavily armed than either of them. They are armed with at least two Energy Projectors, as well as plasma torpedo launchers and pulse-lasers. They also possess gravity lifts, used for ferrying supplies, personnel, and vehicles from the ship and to the planet's surface. From their name, and actions, it would appear that an Assault Carrier is designed to fight through an enemy world's defenses and head right into the planet's atmosphere and drop off its troops.

As some of the larger ships in the Seperatist Fleets are often used as fleet flagships, it is necessary for them to be heavily armed. Assault Carriers possess energy projectors which are powerful enough to cut through UNSC capital ships on its ventral and dorsal surfaces. They also possess multiple pulse-laser turrets used for intercepting enemy missiles and fighters, and plasma torpedoes for engaging in ship-to-ship combat and assaulting planetary defenses.

Assault Carriers are also equipped with at least one gravity lift, capable of dispatching troops, personnel, vehicles and equipment to the surface of a planet rather quickly. They also possess a large main hangar, capable of carrying multiple Seraphs and Banshee fighter crafts, Phantom dropships and boarding crafts, or 2 UNSC Frigates. In addition, Assault Carriers possess the ability to launch Drop Pods, tactically delivering warriors into areas without resorting to bulky and obvious dropships. These ships also carry the dreaded Scarab walkers in their holds for quick deployment. Thanks to these innovations, a single Assault Carrier can easily launch large-scale invasions quickly and effectively.

Assault Carriers, like the vast majority of other Seperatist ships, are characterized by their bulbous, whale-like front, sleek silhouette and pale white/blue hull. However, they also tend to be characterized by their unique swollen and bulbous "hooked" bow section that is frequently characterized to be similar to the head of a whale and would (theoretically) be a massive weakness as the ship could be blown in half comparatively easily, given its shields were down. Rather than possessing multiple smaller hangar bays, like smaller cruisers, Assault Carriers use a single, gargantuan hangar bay for storage of fighters, dropships, boarding craft and small capital ships, at least 500 meters long, 320 meters wide and 120 meters high. For propulsion, Assault Carriers rely on large deuterium-tritium fusion reactors, housed in cavernous chambers, which power the ship's vital systems, as well as the three aft-mounted plasma drives that propel the ship, capable of operating in a vacuum or in an atmospheric environment. They also employ non-reactive gravity drives for standard maneuvering and hovering above the surface of a planet, resisting its gravity.

The Assault Carrier is also fitted with Modular Dispersal Technology, giving it the ability to completely detach sections of its outer hull as well as whole corridors. They can also separate into two distinct sections which leaves the rear section (with the main engines) behind and allows the fore-section to move away with previously hidden engines, the fore section (and likely the rear) are still slipspace capable. The dispersal feature is intended to be used in order to detach sections of the Carrier that sustained extensive damage in order to increase the chances of saving what is left of the ship and its crew for future use.

The Seperatist Supercarrier was a heavy warship classification within the Seperatist Navy. It appears that the ship can be cloaked at will. The Seperatist Supercarrier is the alrgest vessel in the Seperatist arsenal, except various portable space stations such as the now destroyed High Charity planetoid. A Seperatist Supercarrier can launch the invasion of a heavilly armed planet single handedly, often carrying a few Seperatist Corvettes in its bowels and enough Seraph fighters and Seperatist troops to hold off a planets defenders and create a ground base in anticipation for Seperatist reinforcements.
