| ==Overview== | | == Summary == |
| The full extent of the role and responsibilities of the Imperial Admiral title are unclear, save for it being the highest point of authority within the military mechanisms of the Covenant. Its only known title-holder was [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]], an Imperial Admiral in the final years of the [[Covenant]] who held considerable sway throughout the empire for his natural talent and insight. At the height of his influence and popularity, Wattinree was exiled from [[High Charity]] to command the far-flung [[Combined Fleet of Righteous Purpose]] - an armada of warships charged with oversight of the most far-flung reaches of the empire. This was done due to Xytan's authority threatening to outstrip that of the [[Hierarch]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} This is likely an example of a Covenant [[High Fleet]] exile, in which a powerful and charismatic Sangheili officer would be exiled to the far-flung reaches of the empire as a cap on their power and bestowed numerous ceremonial titles and names - but ultimately provided little legacy.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=238-239}}
| | Usually an Imperial Admiral operates on a high ranking [[Covenant Flagship]] such as an [[Assault Carrier]], [[Covenant Supercarrier|Supercarrier]], or other powerful capital ships within the Covenant armada. They seem to be a very high-ranking Zealot office, though this is uncertain. It could be a seperate name for another Zealot rank, like Supreme Commander. |

| Imperial Admiral Wattinree was one of the foremost voices of the [[Covenant separatists|separatist]] movement at the start of the [[Great Schism]], and assembled a force of around two hundred ships in orbit of [[Saepon'kal]] with the intent of leading a massive counterstrike on the [[Jiralhanae]] [[Alpha Tribe]]s, with the intent of then leading his force to exterminate the [[Flood outbreak|outbreak]] of [[Flood]] on [[Installation 05|Delta Halo]] before ultimately continuing with the [[Human-Covenant War|genocide]] of [[human]]ity as per the original vision of the Covenant. Ultimately, this force was stopped by a [[NOVA bomb]] planted aboard Xytan's supercarrier ''[[Sublime Transcendence]]''.{{Ref/Novel|GoO|Chapter=27}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | | == Known Imperial Admirals == |
