Orion-class battlecruiser
If the UNSC ever need a Covenant ship annihilated, the Orion is the ship for the job. An experimental ship built solely around its unique Double MACs. This ship is bound to ruin anyone's day when it fires.
History
One of the few ships designed during the Human-Covenant war the Orion was built with only one purpose in mind, the utter destruction of any Covenant ships they came across. Often times sent out in wolf packs of two these ships had standing orders to patrol contested regions and engage and destroy any hostile ships they came across. These kinds of mission are often times colloquially and jokingly known as a "hunting expedition".
It's been said that when the Orion-class was revealed to the public in 2538, a significant portion of the remaining United Rebel Front ships abandoned their posts and requested amnesty. With the first ever confirmed Assault Carrier kill just 7 months into its deployment, it's hard to argue against both the damage it can dish out and the hope it represents to the public. It has a duel MAC design that has one of the longest ranges of any ship in the UNSC navy and can use this weapon with deadly proficiency.
Weapons and Tactical Usage
Essentially the snipers of the UNSC fleet. Archer missiles and autocannons are substantial but its strength lies with its Huge Double MACs. These MACs deal more damage per shot than any other MAC and outranges all others. Equipped with nuclear missile and MAC Discharge for a faster rate of fire. However its unique ability is the Cov-Killer. An ability specifically meant to kill the shields off any Covenant ship. Expensive to field however so best to keep it protected and in the back.
