[[Fleet Admiral]] [[Joseph Harper]] of the [[Fifth Fleet]] was given primary administrative and tasking authority for all naval assets in the Sol system, as authorized by [[UNSC High Command]] and the [[UEG Security Council]], though the Second Fleet and its fellow fleets retained control over their [[battle group]]s.<ref name="lootcrate2">'''[[Halo Legendary Crate]]''', ''[[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops|Data Drop #2]]''</ref>
