The '''Covenant navy''' is the branch of the [[Covenant military]] responsible solely for space operations.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=thesoundofsack '''Bungie.net''': ''The Tru7h About Co-Op in Halo 3'']</ref> Its roles include ship-to-ship combat, [[Glassing|orbital bombardment]], the deployment of fighters and bombers and the method of delivery for the Covenant's occupational ground forces. At its height, it fielded thousands of warships, most being able to carry fighters, dropships, ground troops and vehicles.

===Early history===

===Human-Covenant War===
{{Expand-section}}
 
==Great Schism==
Throughout the majority of the Covenant civil conflict known as the [[Great Schism]], the Covenant military was violently splintered between those who continued to believe in the [[San 'Shyuum|Prophets’]] wisdom and the [[Covenant separatists]], who followed [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] and opposed the Prophets' rule. As the battle raged, the [[Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth]] formally transferred command of the navy to the [[Jiralhanae]], a position once exclusively held by the [[Sangheili]]. The Covenant separatists wiped out the primary loyalist fleet at the [[Battle of Installation 00]].
 
Soon after the outbreak of the Schism, the separatists' numbers were reduced by a pair of disasters. At [[Joyous Exultation]], the massive [[Combined Fleet of Righteous Purpose]], headed by [[Imperial Admiral]] [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]] aboard the [[CSO-class supercarrier|supercarrier]] ''[[Sublime Transcendence]]'', was consumed by a [[NOVA bomb]]. [[Battle of Onyx|At Onyx]], a battle group headed by the cruiser ''[[Incorruptible]]'' was destroyed by the [[Forerunner]] [[Onyx Sentinel|Sentinels]] that comprised the artificial planet.
 
Due to this disarray, the only Sangheili fleet to fight in the last battles of the war was the [[Fleet of Retribution]], which was led by the [[CAS-class assault carrier|assault carrier]] ''[[Shadow of Intent]]''. During the battles of [[Voi]] and the Ark the Jiralhanae-led loyalist fleet was mostly limited to [[Truth's fleet]], which outnumbered the Sangheili three to one by the time of the [[Battle of Installation 00]]. This fleet contained a number of battlecruisers assault carriers, led by Truth's [[Forerunner Dreadnought]].
