So we all know about the biggest and most powerful ships in the Halo universe:
Covenant Super Cruisers, UNSC carriers, Forerunner Keystone ships (the ships that were shown in Halo Legends and in Halo Wars cinematic's, that's my name for them).
Now what would happen if they somehow went up against the Reaper ships from the Mass Effect universe?
Yeah, yea i know the Super Carriers are 27km long i know they have a very strong cannon, but put that up against a ship that is almost the same length, can move twice or three times as fast as it and has (i believe) 17 or 15 arms (7 or 8 on the sides plus the frontal one) and each arm fires a powerful red beam that can pretty easily shred through shields in one shot and devastate a ship in one shot.
Add to that powerful shields and an uncountable number of ships behind that single Reaper ship and plus the fact that they are "living" self aware ships.
We know that in a giant fleet engagement the Reapers would most definitely crush any fleet that the covenant could assemble.
Why?
Each Reaper is 20km long has the same armament and technology at it's disposal, while the Covenant can basically only throw cruisers at them while they try to assemble Super Carriers to follow up the assault. Even so, the covenant would definitely lose.
Now in a 1v1 engagement between a Super carrier and a Reaper.
Who would win?
The faster ship with 15-17 VERY POWERFUL cannons.
Or the Covenant slow but equally powerful ship?
In my opinion, the winner is pretty obvious.
Reapers.
What's your opinion?
Do you want a Reaper fleet to go up against a Covenant fleet?
or single combat?
(The single combat is between a single SC and Reaper)

Remember that even alone a Reaper is THE most advanced ship in mass effect, it took several dozen other ships to take it (Sovereign) down in ME1 (about 70 ships to be exact). The beams it shoots from it's "fingertips" are more or less as strong as the Super Carriers energy projector that is used to glass planets.
Now it's not clear exactly how many weapons the Super Carrier of the Covenant carries but it has several plasma turrets/torpedoes tubes on the sides, a lot of pulse turrets, and a giant energy projector, add to that a powerful shield.

lol well it's just your basic choice take your pick do you want them to engage in single combat? or in a fleet engagement?
If it's Fleet engagement then choose either of the answers with "Fleet" at the end.
If you want single combat then Choose Reaper or Super Carrier.
It's open to discussion.
