Rereading Ghosts of Onyx, Admiral Patterson arrives to rescue/retrieve UNSC personnel and forerunner tech with a small fleet consisting of: I was wondering if this new carrier may have appeared in the levels somewhere (similar to how the UNSC Trafalgar existed in text form, but it wasn't until the Punic Supercarrier was introduced to HFB that we got to 'see' it. We are told that most were destroyed during the defence of the outer colonies, but some had been pulled back to act as command ships in long range interdiction fleets. It's is stated to be a holdover from the Insurrection, a carrier with extended ground support capabilities (seemingly similar in ability to the Spirit of Fire from Halo Wars). From what we know this is a new ship that hasn't been seen in other media before.

The Orion-class assault carrier is armed with two heavy Magnetic Accelerator Cannons, which serve as the carrier's primary weapon. These carriers also carry complements of UNSC Marines and tanks. Of moderate tonnage by carrier standards, the Orion outmasses the Poseidon-class light carrier but is outmassed by the Epoch-class heavy carrier. As such, each Orion-class assault carrier holds a number of cargo lighters and resource gatherers to support its troops and support ships in harsh expeditionary environments.
