This is the best Halo lore channel. Straightforward, well-explained an run by a guy who cares about the community. More channels need to be run like this.

[@RalseiSmokerOfBlunts]

Agreed

[@TrueTributes13]

I wholeheartedly agree! This is THE Halo channel! So incredibly happy i stumbled across this channel! The videos are peak perfection!

[@jingle9691]

That intro actually made me run for cover

[@yarr_bro]

In most cases, one must sacrifice either quality, or quantity, for one another. This channel provides both, and I’ll always be grateful for that.

[@ThommyofThenn]

This channel has a lot of good stuff. I stopped playing Halo several years ago and the last game I played was gearbox port of CE. Yet I like this channel and the Halo galaxy so much that I watch this

[@inductivegrunt94]

The flagship of the Covenant! And my favorite Covenant warship! Time for its turn to receive its own most detailed breakdown. Thank you 00 for this, this is going to be great!

[@WolfeSaber]

The CSO class is considered the true variant of flagship.

[@trashyhobo4957]

@@WolfeSaber considering there is only one, I'd say the true flagship is the CAS. I believe the CSO is just a super heavy CAS meant to flex thier mussel IMO.

[@WolfeSaber]

@@trashyhobo4957 In lore, there was two. I believe the second was the one carrying a NOVA bomb that blew up. Also, CSO class supercarriers are 28.96 kilometers long. Basically, a Star Wars super star destroyer would wet itself if it saw one.

[@trashyhobo4957]

@@WolfeSaber was there? In what book, cause it's obviously not in any games? I'd like to know more on the second one. Just cause it's bigger doesn't mean it's better. Hell, LNoS was taken out by an Innie tactic technically. I know it was a slipspace drive malfunction but, that still kinda screams "Innie guerrilla warfare" Edit: I still stand by my other comment about the CSO being more mussel than a flagship. Curious to know about the second tho honestly.

[@WolfeSaber]

@@trashyhobo4957 It was the Sublime Transcendence, commanded by Imperial Admiral Xytan. Also, I remember that the Banished got their hands on one, in the lastest book where Blue Team was on Reach getting data from Sword Base, after years since the planet was glasses. Plus, a number of these supercarriers guarded High Charity.

[@concretesandals4501]

"In Truth, we wield divine tools, left to us by the ancients. And we set them up on you without Mercy or Regret." See what you did there!

[@GoGWiz]

😂🎉 and we regret the corp blew up our raggedy ass fleet! Oohrah!

[@Hippolestrian]

I can't give enough props to his use of Science and engineering principles in breaking down fictional technology. It makes it feel more realistic, which makes this one of the most unique and entertaining channels on youtube

[@NovoCognition]

_"There were those who said this day never come. What have they to say now."_ After the initial trailer & the side videos to build up on various components of it. It's wonderful to see the MDB of the CAS. Just imagine the awe & terror the people of the UNSC/UEG felt when one was seen to be around, & the effort needed to take one down. Also, it would be cool to see more cases of a CAS doing modular hull separations.

[@maluse227]

The CAS is my favourite ship in any sci-fi series ever and this is genuinely like a Christmas gift. Amazing content no notes needed.

[@m.b.117]

HALO audio-visuals are not bad, hence good base material, but I have to give it to Installation00, his intros are somehow always outstanding. It might not seem important, but for me it always sets the HALO mood craving for more background info. Great channel, keep up the good work!

[@funkdahmental]

Intro was editted so well. Really set the stage

[@KurtT-051]

I'm so thankful for this channel and the community around it. Time's are tough right now and this is just what the doctor ordered. Thanks again for another spectacular video 00

[@LucasDimoveo]

I wasn’t expecting a whole Materials Science lecture. This is peak lore analysis

[@thorshammer7883]

The Covenant Assault Carrier is very underrated and downplayed alot in versus discussions. Some people even say Earth nukes today could destroy one in atmosphere which is hilariously downplaying it unfairly, they often forget the nukes the UNSC use in the future are alot more advance and made to be more powerful in space then nukes are today and often they are shot down by Covenant intercepting fire. In truth the Assault Carrier would be a beast in real life to the point even multiple dozens of Tsar Bomba tier blasts would be snuffed on it like smashing a stick of TNT against a thick reinforced concrete wall. It may not be as durable as say a Imperium Battleship or some Star Wars EU ships but it's more durable and has raw power more then most give credit or consideration for. Don't downplay the capabilities of the Covenant Assault Carrier's strength and durability in versus discussions because that's very low and not being truthful.

[@alexalbrecht5768]

With the exception of the NOVA bomb most UNSC nukes aren’t that high yield and are capable of damaging or destroying covenant ships fairly effectively. The pulse laser turrets would most likely intercept any modern delivery system though.

[@thorshammer7883]

@@alexalbrecht5768 Yeah those missles are moving at sublight speeds in space while missiles today are only high super sonic to low hypersonic speeds. Comparing modern nuclesr missiles to UNSC space missile nukes would be like comparing a good processing home computer to a super computer.

[@Pepsi-Mann21]

The reason why nukes are somewhat effective against Covenant ships is that they disable their shields

[@blueguy2128]

@@alexalbrecht5768 it takes multiple nukes to wipe out unshielded Covenant ships.

[@thorshammer7883]

@@blueguy2128 More advanced nukes at that.

[@izumishion6267]

As much as I love Human spaceships (UNSC Infinity 4 life) highly advanced alien ships have always had more interest to me. Among all these the Covenant ships are my number 1 favorite ships. I absolutely adore the CAS carriers. Can't wait for more covenant ships and weapons. On that note (unless I missed it), I would love to see a video on the effects of glassing. The Covenant use it so regularly that it can hardly be classified as something like a nuclear deterrent and MAD. Still a WMD but they use it so much and we have seen various effect from it. Such as the burning of New Alexandria on Reach were the burning destruction is more spread out visibly but then we get digging effects like Harvest and Kholo where its more centralized on the beam.

[@rushpatriot2866]

Both the design of human and covies ships are next level when it comes to sci-fi. Both easily identifiable extremely unique and just cool AF. I personally like the human ships a little better the frigates in particular are something I can't take my eyes off of

[@tacticalmattress]

To me, Halo has the best designs ever for large starships. Also the technical data behind them. ​Thank Shiek for that. The forerunner designs as well. I loved The Ark in halo 3 and the original CE ring is still peak@rushpatriot2866

[@1k3nts09]

That beginning needs to be turned into an edit someone please it goes so hard and has so much potential

[@DeeonleeCobb373]

The CAS Assault Carriers gives off the same terror as those Alien ships from the first Independence Day movie did. Colossal, imposing, and nigh unstoppable.

[@WaveForceful]

I imagine seeing them is like what Sailors on a Light Cruiser felt in WWII when they saw a battleship on the horizon.

[@peytoncarter9578]

No freaking way , bro this was so immaculate.

[@peytoncarter9578]

I still hope the CPV heavy destroyer can still be in discussion.

[@digital-b4177]

As always nothing but outstanding and unmatched work! Makes the rest of gaming channels feel lacking.

[@ThatGuyOrby]

Wonder if we could get one regarding the Punic class Supercarrier since it was Humanity's biggest wartime warship and a ship so powerful even the Covenant feared. A ship that in UNSC service it's size was only surpassed by the Infinity when it came onto the scene. Lore on it is unfortunately rare but there is a fair amount out there depending on which sources you would consider reliable.

[@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem]

Your intro for this and the High Charity breakdown are great. Would you do something similar if you ever cover some Forerunner ships?

[@Benneffect]

Awesome intro. I loved "without mercy or regret." And the anniversary track!

[@TeamVersusDK]

I haven't even watched the whole video yet. But from just that intro, I can already tell the quality and depth I'm about to experience. Your channel does such an amazing work with these Halo vids. Keep up the blessing work and you shall walk the path to the divine beyond. Garanteed.

[@jmsmith.91]

You are the last bastion of positive Halo on KZbin. Please don’t quit.

[@thorshammer7883]

If a UNSC Slipspace reactor like the Spirit of Fire's is powerful enough to cause a star to explode destroying a Forerunner shield world in the process, imagine what the full capabilities of a Covenant Slipspace reactor from a Covenant Assault Carrier can do in energy output. A Frigate's slipspace reactor vaporised half a Super Covenant Carrier's main body that was in it's radius.

[@tfw8738]

It didn't vaporise it. As Kat explained, in the intro to the mission, the slip space drive on the civilian ship worked fine, but only teleported half of the ship because it was mounted wrong. That's the same of what happened to the supercarrier. The middle section was teleported, breaking the ship apart. The slip space drive worked as intended

[@thorshammer7883]

[@thorshammer7883]

@@tfw8738 Did they teleport the core of the artifical star as well?

@@thorshammer7883 no, the star inside the shield world did explode. The slip space drive caused the reaction to take place, but it was only really a catalyst to the explosion, with the star doing most of the work.

I'm not going to lie if we had enough information to do a Most Detailed video on it I'd want one on the Marathon class Heavy Cruiser, but alas I'll have to accept the fact Halo moved so far past when that ship was useful. Great video, this was one of my favorite Covenant Ships too!!!!!!!

I like Halo, I am playing and loving the games (to a varying degree thb), but I am no hardcore fan. Never read a Halo book or a comic, did not even watch that tv show. But I enjoy this channel and this content thoroughly, it's always a joy to see a long video being uploaded. From the perspective of a an old hardcore sci-fi fan and nerd, because that is what I _am,_ this channel surely delivers some of the best fan made content I have seen in my soon 50 years. Ever thought of having a bit on the side with Battletech, The Expanse or my big love, Warhammer 40K? Because I would love to see what you make of those universes!

[@habibibl0xberg]

As always, you've made a breakdown of extremely high quality! Just one little correction: 50 million degrees Celsius equals about 90 million degrees Fahrenheit. Not trying to be nit-picky, but i just wanted to let you know, as I'm sure that it was just a little conversion error or something like that when making the script. Cheers! :)

What a quality video, the amount of comprehension is nuts. Good researching.

[@etherealgamer6667]

Funny, I was about to ask if Repulsor engines would be hazardous to nearby ships or personnel, but you answered it for me lol The covenant are weird, they generally have a more elegant and subtle style for their technology, but the idea of creating an artificial mass or singularity seems a bit reckless

[@chriswhite3692]

"What am I going to do with a sniper rifle on a ship?" have you seen the interiors of those carriers?

[@tommyscott8511]

Lukewarm take: Bungie should have never introduced the Supercarrier as a concept. The Assault Carrier is awesome and raising the stakes in Reach by going 'what if Assault Carrier, but BIGGER' was dumb and lazy.

[@DerCharacter]

If they were more unique looking I would like the CSO a bit more, I personally think each CSO is custom, and that the Long Night of Solace looking exactly like a CAS is unique

Also scarabs, wraiths, banshees, phantoms, static weapon systems like the Tyrant Anti Air canons. Really, just about anything that would be seen during an invasion. But the CSO would be the most important of these.

Honestly I live the CAS Class, I love how much you see it, yesh theres always like a hundred CCS Class Battlecruisers, but these are the ones that stand out, they dwarf all other sgios, and are either seen looming in the sky completely unfazed, cirlcing around like in Halo 3 or using the excavation beam to glass New Mombasa in Halo 3 ODST.

[@KingdomH342]

Good video, but you forgot to mention the different design patterns for the CAS. There are 2 (some argue 3) known, the Kerel and Syfon pattern, and while it is a minor detail considering there's no stated difference other than the secondary hanger, I thought it worth a mention.

[@majesticwolfyguy6629]

There is 3 Ones a special flagship variant, ones a mass produced variant, and the other is between. There's a difference in technology and overall power and status between them

[@KingdomH342]

@@majesticwolfyguy6629 Nothing has ever been directly stated (the secondary hanger is pure fan speculation) out side of the fact that the Kerel-pattern is a rare Prophet approved variant, I've checked. But that's certainly a nice idea.

[@AmurTiger]

Just a thought on speed. If impacts with space dust or other spare atoms imparts kinetic energy on the ship then as you speed up you'll reach a top speed completely independent of relativistic effects based off the density of space, a not /quite/ oxymoron which when considering limitations in approaching the speed of light starts to become relevant.
