Agricultural Support Ships were a type of support vessel used by the Covenant, and attached to their wandering Covenant Fleets. These vessels are much smaller than a Covenant capital ship, and are not designed for combat. Rather, they are designed to provide fresh food for Covenant soldiers.[2] They contain large hunting preserves holding many types of animals, to be killed and fed to the Elites and Prophets within the Fleet, as well as plants,[3] but it is unclear if these plants are eaten. Humans do not know much about the diet of most Covenant creatures.
They are only crewed by Engineers and Grunts, with no Elites on board. They are commanded by a single Minor Prophet. Only one has been named, which was the Infinite Succor.
[edit] Trivia
- On the map Release, in Halo Wars, there are several Agricultural Support Ships crashed on the the map.
