Description
he CAS-class assault carrier had entered production at least by 2142. The Battle of Bliss saw the first known deployment of the CAS-class assault carrier during the Human-Covenant War. Five of these vessels alongside the smaller but more numerous CCS-class battlecruisers and CPV-class heavy destroyers attacked and glassed the world resulting in the deaths of all five hundred million citizens of Bliss. Over the next two decades of conflict the assault carrier would grow to be known as one of the most fearful inspiring vessels in the Covenant armada.

After the destruction of the CSO-class supercarrier Long Night of Solace at least three such vessels led the Covenant reinforcement fleet to assault the planet Reach. During the ensuing Fall of Reach these vessels alongside hundreds of others would lead to the destruction of humanity's largest and most well defended colony. At least one assault carrier was present at the Battle of Tribute.

Months later two such vessels led the Fleet of Sacred Consecration to Earth, where they engaged the UNSC Home Fleet in orbit above Africa. The first one, carrying the Prophet of Regret himself, managed to penetrate Earth's orbital defenses. The second attempted to follow, but was subsequently destroyed by SPARTAN John-117.

The Prophet of Regret's assault carrier Solemn Penance fled to slipspace, as the UNSC forces were likely to recapture the city of New Mombasa with the UNSC In Amber Clad following close behind in its slipspace wake, leading human forces to Installation 05.

Another assault carrier, Shadow of Intent, later became the flagship of the Fleet of Retribution. Rtas 'Vadum, in command of the ship, led his fleet to Earth in pursuit of a surviving Flood ship, arriving in time to glass the infected area of the planet. Shadow of Intent and its escorting cruisers joined the remnants of the UNSC Home Fleet to launch a joint attack on the Covenant at Installation 00, destroying their fleet and providing a distraction while ground forces engaged Truth's loyalists that had landed on the installation. It later evacuated the UNSC and Sangheili personnel and returned to Earth for a short time before returning to Sanghelios.

By 2554, Jul 'Mdama, a shipmaster and leader of the revived Covenant commanded the assault carrier Song of Retribution during his attempts to enter the Forerunner shield world Requiem. Three years later, the Song of Retribution led a fleet of numerous CRS-class light cruisers.

Numerous assault carriers were present at the peace talks on Ealen IV under the command of the Arbiter, Thel 'Vadam, and the Elder Chieftain of the Jiralhanae, Lydus. Many assault carriers were also used under the command of Vata 'Gajat during the battle that ensued in an attempt to capture the delegates.
