Long Night of Solace

The Unnamed Covenant Supercarrier was a Covenant supercarrier-class vessel that led the advance assault on the planet Reach before the Fall of Reach. It was destroyed by a UNSC team during Operation: UPPERCUT.

Operational history
Sometime before August 12, 2552, the supercarrier entered Reach orbit and was cloaked by a network of stealth pylons and Spires. The supercarrier was then able to covertly land troops on the surface of the planet, starting the advance invasion of Reach.

On August 12, Spire One was destroyed, revealing the location of the supercarrier to the UNSC. After having its stealth compromised, the supercarrier proceeded to destroy the and lay waste to several other UNSC deployments. It then retreated to Covenant-held space in orbit above the planet.

During Operation: UPPERCUT, an operation designed to destroy the ship, UNSC EVA teams transported a Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine onto a Covenant corvette that was on a refueling run with the supercarrier. The UNSC then opened an unrestricted Slipspace rift with the engine, teleporting away half of the hull and destroying the supercarrier. The remains of the ship then crashed in a mountain range on the surface of Reach.
