The Mjern-pattern agricultural support ship,[1] also known as the DSC-class support ship,[3] is a type of support vessel used by the Covenant. It is attached to the fleets that travel far from established supply lines.[1]
Design[]
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.[4] They contain large hunting preserves holding many types of animals, to be killed and fed to the Sangheili and San'Shyuum within the fleet, as well as plants,[4] but it is unclear if these plants are eaten. These hunting grounds were also used for recreation.[1]
Mjern-pattern ships can also repair ship parts in special maintenance forges.[1]
Complement[]
Mjern-pattern ships carry their own complement of troops. This included seven Obedientaries and 150 Warriors.[1]
Crew[]
They are only crewed by Huragok and Unggoy, with almost no Sangheili on board. They are commanded by a single Lesser Prophet.[5]
