Avarice-Class Dreadnaught

The Avarice-Class Dreadnaught is a Dreadnaught class vessel built by the Gardexians to fend off the Covenant during their war with the UNSC .
==History==
When the UNSC's war with the Covenant found its way to a system not too far from Gardiex, where a Halo Installation was located. Soon after the battle ended there, Covenant forces drew closer. Knowing that their naval power was not strong enough to fend off the Covenant, the military decided to design a ship with enough firepower to hold its own with a Supercarrier. The design was developed by a shipbuilder by the name of Valu Gardxi, a contractor with close ties to the owners of the Ovra Shipbuilding Yards.
Construction of the Dreadnaught spent a record 1 year and cost 400 trillion credits, completely draining the yearly budget for Gardiex's military spending. It first saw action after its construction during the Battle for Gallex, in which it defeated a Covenant flotilla in process of glassing Gallex and Ralk. It destroyed 13 corvettes and the Supercarrier acting as the fleet's flagship. Many attacks from other Covenant vessels were fended off until the Covenant pulled out of the system in 2552.
