Only complaint is that directional shift Cutter ordered was actually "hard to port." Port is on your left when facing forward, Starboard is on your right.
Regret is like Truth if he was more impulsive and stupid, Mercy kinda feels like he's the most earnest of the Prophets, with Truth being the most megalomaniacal and Regret just being a less effective version of Truth.
Can’t go wrong with halo wars music in videos. Also, I too adore the look of this ship, so unique yet unquestionably covenant. Wish we see more or these, maybe under banished control. The shamed and disheveled crew would easily convert to Atriox after the fall of the covenant.
The banished do have them as well, in the book shadows of reach so they could put them in the game, coz the banished ships in infinite are all the same
One of the fascinating things about Covenant power systems is that the lore and gameplay reasons for fusion power’s volatility are actually incorrect irl. In reality, fusion is far safer and more stable than fission. In layman’s terms, atoms don’t want to undergo fusion but must be forced to do so and when that ‘force’ is removed the reaction dissipates and loses energy rather quickly. On the other hand atoms used for fission are often larger and/or unstable and will undergo fission naturally, albeit slowly, if left alone. Fission power systems involve collecting large masses of fissile material and inducing a controlled chain reaction. If that control is removed it can cause a meltdown or in the worst case a nuclear detonation. Hope y’all find this interesting! (Please encourage your governments to invest in nuclear energy, it’s safe I swear)
It's pretty interesting that dedicated warships have no glory in the Covenant navy, almost the exact opposite of the UNSC. Instead of being stuck on patrol, it's much more glamorous to be on a cruiser discovering new species or hunting for forerunner relics.
Im pretty sure shipmasters took great pride in glassing. While it was pest control for them, the act was purifying the galaxy of vermin and its stated in a Halo Short Story that shipmasters would carve religious symbols into a planet, the onboard prophet would then inspect and sanction the complete glassing of the world, if the carving wasnt to standard the shipmaster would be executed on the spot. Its not known how often this was done but I would guess it was a rite of passage for shipmasters in their holy duty
@@zonnodon163 Its just that he said "glassing was a task beneath shipmasters" Which wasnt really true, the glassing of a planet was an holy duty in the eyes of the sangheili. Fresh shipmasters would risk their entire family lines by preforming the marking of a planet for a prophets approval, the initiation of a glassing wasnt something that was taken lightly
"Those ships recalled from the outer reaches served the Prophets in their campaign against the humans, but gained little honor in their grim work." -Halo Warfleet referring to destroyer's glassing operations. The encyclopedia does say that glassing is an expression of religious zeal, but we see multiple examples of sangheili questioning why they didn't ever attempt to bring the humans into the fold. I remember a specific Shipmaster expressing his distaste for the practice, but I can't for the life of me remember his name or which book he was from. In the Unggoy rebellion terminal they refer to the partial glassing of Balaho as "ferocity unseen since the dawing of our covenant," which tells me its something they don't do often. Doesn't ring to me like a religious practice they revel in, but it's just my take.
@@gammacompanymark halo evolutions: The Return is where this is mentioned. I imagine, that in normal terms, a glassing against humans would have been sanctioned by the prophets The initiation would be sanctioned by them, a ceremony would be carried out by the fleet master, then the boring task of the actual glassing would have been carried out by them? Just my guess
BY GOD SOMEONE FINALLY COVERED THIS IMPOSING VESSEL!!! it's in all honesty one of my more favorite ship designs in the covenant fleet, right next to the standard CCS-class battlecruiser.
One of my favorite Covenant ships as well! It's profile is so unique and intimidating. That fact it carries the same excavation beam as a CAS means it's just as deadly orbital bombardment, if not more so given the inclusion of the bombardment mortars a CAS lacks. 343 needs to give this ship some more big screen love.
I mean technically an aircraft carrier should have alot of missiles to arm and rearm it's wide complement of aircraft. It's just not directly used by the ship itself for offensive purposes.
Aircraft carriers don’t exactly have a lot of missiles but enough to chase anything off that happens to be around along with its phalanx systems. Generally speaking its protection comes from being at the heart of a carrier strike group with numerous assets dedicated to screening and protecting the carrier.
I love how it does not look like a Covenant ship, yet it looks exactly like a Covenant ship. I hate that 343 made half the fleet look like a smaller version of another ship.
The only examples of this that I am aware of are the CAS Assault Carrier/CSO Supercarier and the Zanar-Pattern Light Cruiser/CCS Battlecruiser. Do you have any other examples? Because these aren't half the fleet. Also, the copy/paste of the CAS to the CSO is from Bungie, not 343.
@@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystemit honestly kinda makes sense though in lore. Why would you radically change the design of a vessel when you can miniaturize (or supersize) the pattern and create a large number of light escorts or an extremely powerful capital ship without having to completely design something new.
First Please can you do a video to explain all patterns that you are talking about ? Personnaly i know the class of the ships but not the patterns so its hard to understand sometimes. Thanks for your great videos man !!
@@gammacompanymark yes i understand, we all have our life, our responsabilities etc Keep up the good work man You can be proud, you are doing a great work
I always thought the reason the spirit of fire survived the encounter on the ark was that the prophet of regret was on the destroyer and their priority was getting him out of there
Aircraft carrier armament varies. WW2 US carriers were covered in AA guns, while modern ones carry minimal weapons. The Soviet Union on the other hand put a fair number of small and medium missiles on carriers like the Admiral Kuznetsov. Specifically because of poorer design and to try to loophole the treaty with Turkey on military ship transport through the Turkish Straights, they classified the Kuznetsov as an "aircraft carrying missile cruiser". Not true, its a carrier, but you get the point
I would love to see the arbiter field some of these in future halo titles, and the ORS as well. We need more anvil initiative, and Swords of sangheilios content in general
You have a very good mind for understanding and communicating details. If you want a few channels for help with military history (Jocko) Navy Seal has tons of podcasts. Dark Docks for just crazy shit and history. Perun for modern history. Forgotten Weapons talk about the history of firearms technology. Let's see what else can I think of... Every day stoic for philosophy and history. Sir issac Arthur for future technologies. Have a great day brother!!!
Here's a coil gun by a company called Ark-Flash is making th-cam.com/video/EwHRjgVWFno/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=ForgottenWeapons There is a lot of work to do to improve this design but cool to see innovation happening all over by just cool people 😎
Other nations, besides the US, do load missiles onto their ‘carriers.’ The Russians are one. A nation merges the roles of cruisers and carriers, or destroyers and carriers when that is the case. It isn’t the best choice, but when the fleets are smaller some nations do compromise.
hi you were not actually wrong in saying aircraft carriers have a lot of missiles cause its only really the american and british carriers that have comperativly few for example the French Charles de Gaulle or idian INS Vikrant each employee larg quantatys of sams and the Kusnezow class carriers in service with the russian and chinese navy even complement their sams with larg anti ship missiles
aircraft carriers do not carry any offensive Weaponry they don't their offense weapons are The Things They Carried if they do that's a poorly designed aircraft carrier seeing as moving into the range of energy weapons fire for an aircraft carrier is a stupid idea
“Hard starboard, aye!” Love that cutscene from halo wars 1. Such a dope scene seeing two combat ships broadside
So, am I the only one freaked out by the fact we're inside the planet? Man that cutscene goes hard.

Hell yeah, the one thing I couldn't draw accurately in highschool for some reason lol
BY GOD SOMEONE FINALLY COVERED THIS IMPOSING VESSEL!!! it's in all honesty one of my more favorite ship designs in the covenant fleet, right next to the standard CCS-class battlecruiser.
Watching this ship fall from the sky in the intro of Halo Wars was so awesome.

Was not expecting “is he dead? Why isn’t he moving?” And what came after lol.
Surprised nothing has mentioned the Banished using these yet, they seem like a very fitting ship to fall into their hands
This mans channel is gonna explode, im super happy you came across my feed, halo space craft fascinate me.
My favorite will always be the CCS-Class, though I wish the "silver tear drop" style from the Halo 2 Teaser was what continued.
It was cool to see a destroyer ram into the spirit of fire and it looked sick
I mean technically an aircraft carrier should have alot of missiles to arm and rearm it's wide complement of aircraft.
It's just not directly used by the ship itself for offensive purposes.
Youre doing awesome Mark keep it up man! Cant wait to see this channel blow up!
Amazing video! I always enjoy your narration combined with the background footage. Keep up the good work!
This ship looks like Brak a bit. Also, new follower btw, love the channel!
I've wanted halo breakdown for so long. I'm glad to have found this channel.
Bro I love this guy❤
I want more of his videos
LETS GOOO BABY NEW SHIP BREAKDOWN!!
A beautiful ship, and I'm very happy to be 3D printing a lot of them. >:)

Will do, that's a good idea. I've always preferred the covenant names but I know lots of people know them by class.
@@gammacompanymark thanks man

Could you do a breakdown of the covenant corvette?
Please do the sahara- class heavy prowler It's my favorite spaceship design in fiction
I would love to see the arbiter field some of these in future halo titles, and the ORS as well.

Such a cool looking ship
If you like the story of the crew all being people who have failed or committed crimes, I highly recommend Scott Siglers book "shakedown"
See if 343 had told us that the banished used 4 of these to bring down the infinity I would have been alot more willing to go along
Hey Mark, people here. Great video, man.
If I were Re'gish Wamik (the golden elite that got yeeted), I'd stay down as well
I’ve only seen that ship in halo wars after that nothing, well and halo legends
I think you should do the most famous class of ships in the covenant and the first that we see. The CAS assault carrier
I've been looking forward to this...
Not just the US Navy. Battleships as a whole are extinct for the most part, none are in active use
You should learn more about the military it helps in sci fi lore
do the covanent assault carrier next.

The Covenant would have probably won the war if they actually made use of them
I love if we could see the the CSO Super Carriers or better yet... if the Covenant have bigger class of ships.
Can you do the Infinity class super carrier
We will get there, my friend, but that's gonna be like, a two hour long video.
@@gammacompanymark ok
it really reminds of me a Klingon ship or a Romulan ship, not that I am accusing them of such foul play, those are good designs to emulate.
