===UNSC Gift of Wings===
The UNSC Gift of Wings was commissioned in 2377 as the first interstellar assault carrier of the UNSC. Gift of Wings served as center of the UNSC's first response force during the early years of the Inner Colony Wars, and remained a major element of reaction forces for the duration of the conflict. Gift of Wings was assigned to the Reach fleet after the war. The assault carrier was decommissioned in 2462. 
===UNSC As Eagles Soar===
The UNSC As Eagles Soar was commissioned in 2383. The assault carrier served with distinction during the Inner Colony Wars, and was assigned to Earth after the war. As Eagles Soar was decommissioned in 2466. 
===UNSC Whomsoever Dares===
The UNSC Whomsoever Dares was commissioned in 2386. The assault carrier served with distinction during the Inner Colony Wars, and was assigned to Mars after the war. Whomsoever Dares was decommissioned in 2470 and placed in reserve. The assault carrier would be reactivated and returned to service during the Human-Covenant War. 
===UNSC God Give Me Wings!===
The UNSC God Give Me Wings! was commissioned in 2388 and was immediately deployed to the colonies. The assault carrier was constantly redeployed to crises, giving rise to the legend that the God Give Me Wings! - possibly through unexplained Slipspace phenomenon - was present at multiple colonies at the same time. Legends notwithstanding, the assault carrier became the workhorse of the UNSC during and after the war. God Give Me Wings! was decommissioned in 2464. 
===UNSC Cliffs of Gallipoli===
The UNSC Cliffs of Gallipoli was commissioned in 2391 and was immediately deployed to the colonies for the duration of the Inner Colony Wars. The assault carrier made a major impact on the colony of Kaiser, firstly by subduing conflict by its intimidating presence and secondly by overseeing the distribution of humanitarian supplies to the population; Cliffs of Gallipoli was deployed to Kaiser for less than a month, but the assault carrier became enshrined in the colony's history. The assault carrier was decommissioned in 2470 and placed in reserve. Cliffs of Gallipoli would be reactivated and returned to service during the Human-Covenant War. 
===UNSC Divine Wind===
The UNSC Divine Wind was commissioned in 2393 and joined UNSC forces in colonial space. The assault carrier served with distinction during the Inner Colony Wars. Alongside the Cliffs of Gallipoli and God Give Me Wings!, the Divine Wind served the UNSC as the primary assault group until the introduction of the Zhukov-class in 2459. The assault carrier was decommissioned in 2470 and placed in reserve. Divine Wind would be reactivated and returned to service during the Human-Covenant War.
