Overview
The first available capital, colonizer, and carrier ship for the Covenant, these vessels will find use throughout the game thanks to their ability to field many squadrons of strike-craft and their overall power.
History
Throughout the Human-Covenant War, DDS-class Carriers have supported the Covenant Armada. The most impressive feature of this class (aside from its durability and powerful weapons array) is it's extensive strike-craft compliment, consisting of three Seraph squadrons, two hundred Banshees and thirty-four Spirit or Phantom dropships. In addition to its support craft capacity, it has an equally impressive number of drop pods used to send in Sangheili shock troops to a planet's surface with the intent of causing sabotage and destruction on a large scale.
Weapons and Tactical Usage
Thanks to its impressive durability for its cost, this vessel should be your first build in any game and can easily turn the tide in early game battles. While its early-game potential is not in question, the addition of its Colonize ability allows it to improve structure construction times on planets, ensuring that its end-game potential is far from poor. With a possible compliment of eight strike-craft, it is simply the best carrier in the game and should be used when attacking UNSC worlds to get around static defenses.
