Description: The RCS-class armored cruiser is a capital warship classification within the Covenant Navy.

The RCS-class armored cruiser likely operates in combat similarly to the CCS-class battlecruiser, and seems to usurp the former's role within the Covenant Remnant. While possessing less offensive power than its counterpart with only a single Energy Projector, justifiable of its namesake the RCS-class is larger and more heavily armored.

Operational History

At least two of these vessels were used by the Covenant Remnant during the Second Battle of Requiem. One was destroyed upon the arrival of UNSC Infinity and the other escaped as Requiem was forced into its sun.
