Celestial Radiance-class carrier

The Celestial Radiance-class served the United Nations Space Authority (UNSA) and the United Nations Space Command (UNSC) as light carriers during the Interplanetary Conflict. Twelve passenger liners were converted for use as a result of the Jovian Crisis of 2160. The class remained in service after the crisis alongside the Solar Princess and Empress of Mars heavy carriers. The twelve light carriers slowly succumbed to attrition and were substantially replaced by the purpose-built Spirit-class starting in 2164. By the end of the war, eleven had been destroyed or irreparably damaged by enemy forces; the sole survivor, the UNSC Celestial Radiance was decommissioned and sold in late 2170.
