Valor-class carrier

The Valor-class carriers were the principle CMA heavy carrier during the Inner Colony Wars. In the decades following, the CMA and UNSC reclassified the Valor ships as light carriers. The majority of the class went into reserve prior to the outbreak of the Insurrection, but as that conflict spread and grew, the Valor carriers were slowly reactivated and returned to service. Practically every carrier was subsequently lost during the Human-Covenant War.

===CMA In Amber Clad===
The CMA In Amber Clad was commissioned in 2392 and served with distinction during the Inner Colony Wars. The In Amber Clad was placed in reserve in 2457 with a tentative date of 2537 to be withdrawn and scrapped. Following the spread of the Insurrection in the early 2490s, the In Amber Clad was reactivated and returned to the CMA Navy in 2498. Prior to a scheduled hand over to the UNSC in December 2511, the In Amber Clad was tasked with deploying CMA ground forces to the outer colony of Ishimura. The light carrier was present at the Ishimura bombing in August and suffered irreparable damage as a result. The attack killed more than 8,000 people, including an estimated 3,500 CMA personnel; about a third of CMA deaths and injuries were aboard the In Amber Clad. The light carrier was decommissioned and removed from Ishimura by the UNSC in November 2511 and sold for scrap in 2515.
