(Rewriting this article. Parts of this are more speculative than I would like. We don't really know much about the rank. I'm still in favor of moving this article to "fleetmaster".)

Whenever a fleet or smaller task force is needed for any mission away from the entirety of the Covenant's navy a fleet master will be assigned and given command of several warships for the mission.

Fleet master

Function:

Commanders of fleets[1]

Species:

Sangheili, Jiralhanae[2]

Affiliation:

Group:

Covenant fleet[1]

 

"You, Ship Master Voro 'Mantakree, are now Fleet Master Voro Nar 'Mantakree. Lead your newly assembled battle group to this world. Destroy the demons and deny them their prize at all costs."
— Imperial Admiral Xytan 'Jar Wattinree promoting Voro 'Mantakree to fleet master[1]

Fleet master, occasionally rendered as fleetmaster,[3] is a title given to individuals in command of battle groups and fleets within the Covenant military.[1] Prior to the dawn of the Great Schism, the title was given to the Jiralhanae.[2]

Rank

One of the varying degrees of command titles within the Covenant fleet, the title of fleet master was given to the officer in command of a fleet. While fleet master is distinct from the title of Supreme Commander, both ranks gave the beholders similar responsibilities for a fleet or a contingency of fleets.[4] The title was originally only assigned to Sangheili officers within the Covenant fleet, though towards the end of the Human-Covenant War, the High Prophet of Truth rose several Jiralhanae to the title of fleet master in preparation for his plans to remove the Sangheili from the Covenant.[2] Following the empire's collapse during the Great Schism, some Sangheili still held the title of fleet master.[5][6]

Wearing golden combat harnesses to signify their command position,[7] fleet masters normally utilize a large warship as their flagship, such as a CAS-class assault carrier or ORS-class heavy cruiser.[8] Following the fall of the Covenant, some fleet masters have found that ancient Carrack merchant cruisers are surprisingly capable and resilient troop and materiel transports in modern conflicts.[6] When Voro 'Mantakree was promoted from major to a fleet master, Imperial Admiral Xytan 'Jar Wattinree bestowed a middle name upon him, making his name Voro Nar 'Mantakree.[1] However, a middle name is not given to all fleet masters. Fleet masters can order tweaks on starships for their fleet during the ship's construction.[9]

Known fleet masters

Behind the scenes

The difference between the ranks of fleet master and Supreme Commander are unknown. Halo: The Flood and the Halo Encyclopedia have referred to Thel 'Vadamee as the fleet master of the Fleet of Particular Justice, though most sources referred to him as the Supreme Commander of the fleet. It is unknown if the references to 'Vadamee being a fleet master are incorrect or if he held both titles.
