'''Fleet Master''' is a very high prestigious [[Sangheili]] rank within the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Covenant Navy|Navy]]. Sangheili fleet masters command [[Task Force|task forces]] and small [[fleet]]s.<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', page 243</ref>

Whenever a small fleet is needed for any mission away from the entirety of the Covenant Navy, a fleet master will be assigned and given command of several warships for the mission. In this regard, they could be considered the Covenant equivalent to a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[Rear Admiral|rear admiral]]. Since fleet masters are of such a high rank, it is assumed that they may also command the entire fleet should their [[Supreme Commander|supreme commander]] or [[Imperial Admiral|imperial admiral]] be incapacitated during space combat.

They normally operate from a large warship, such as a [[Reverence-class Cruiser|''Reverence''-class cruiser]], as when Fleet Master [[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]] operated from the ''Reverence''-class cruiser ''[[Incorruptible]]'' during the [[Battle of Onyx]].<ref>''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx'', pages 191-278</ref>

An [[Arbiter]], should his role require it, could probably be assigned the role of fleet master. As well, [[councilor]]s probably have the authority of rank to command an entire fleet, as even [[zealot]]s are subordinate to them.

Fleet masters wear the same yellow-gold armor as other zealot-level Sangheili.

*[[Rtas 'Vadum]] - Former ship master of the assault carrier ''Shadow of Intent''; former fleet master of the Fleet of Retribution.

*[[Thel 'Vadam]] - Current ship master of the [[Assault Carrier|assault carrier]] ''[[Shadow of Intent]]''; current fleet master of the [[Fleet of Retribution]].

*[[Unnamed Fleet Master (The Package)|Unidentified fleet master]] - Fleet master in charge of delivering the cryogenically frozen [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] to Covenant space.

*[[Unnamed Sangheili Shipmaster (The Return)|Unidentified ship master]] - Current ship master of an unknown assault carrier; current fleet master of the Fleet of Righteous Vigilance.

*[[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]] - [[Ship Master|Ship master]] of the ''[[Incorruptible]]'', who led a fleet to follow the ''[[Bloodied Spirit]]'' to [[Onyx]].

*When Voro 'Mantakree was promoted from a [[Major Domo Sangheili|major domo]] to a zealot fleet master, an extra part was added to his name, making it Voro Nar 'Mantakree.

*A Fleet Master may prospectively have more authority than a [[Field Master|field master]], since delivering an army to the battlefield is one of the responsibilities performed by a fleet master.
