Carrack (Earth-5875)

The Carrack is a class of sangheili merchant cruiser developed before the formation of the Covenant and the War of Beginnings.

History
Developed by ancient sangheili, Carracks were used for selling goods and materials between the many sangheili colonies. After the formation of the Covenant, the san'shyuum used Carracks for the same goal they served beforehand, helping to supply materials through the Covenant's vast sphere of influence. With the dissolution of the Covenant and the end of the First Covenant War, single-purpose sangheili vessels became important assets for many splinter groups of the Covenant, duo to the rarity of warships of the hegemony during the war, most of which fell under the unified efforts of the Swords of Sanghelios. Used for war as opposed to commerce, Carracks proved to be quite resilient for would-be warlods, being used extensively during the Blooding Years and the continuing Great Schism.
