| abstract | - As the UNSC began the lengthy task of rebuilding its armed forced, they embarked on a modernisation effort to bring their warship effectiveness up to at least technological equality to their Covenant counterparts. Humanity has always enjoyed a tactical and strategic superiority, but the advanced technology the Covenant employ meant certain defeat across hundreds of colonies. As part of this modernisation, the Navy commissioned the Glorious-class Carrier. Constructed at the Alpha Centauri Naval Shipyards, the Glorious-class ships would see first combat during the Blood Covenant attack on the colony in 2557, effectively beating of a numerically superior fleet with only a dozen ships and sixty squadrons of the new Blackburn Clawmore space superiority fighter. During the rest of the war, the Glorious-class carriers would see combat in a dozen star systems, carring mixed complements of older Longsword fighters and Claymore fighters for flexibility. One carrier, the UNSC Audacious, would be converted into an orbital assault carrier, allowing the UNSC improved mass orbital insertion capability, successfully used during the ground invasion of the Tapach and Walresh system supply base colonies by the UNSC Marine Corps.
