The '''Fleet Master''' is a very high-ranking [[Sangheili|Elite]] within the [[Covenant Navy]]. This grade of Elite commands [[Task Force]]s and small [[Fleet]]s. <ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', page 243</ref>

== Rank ==
The title of Fleetmaster was above the authority of [[Shipmaster]] and below the authority of [[Supreme Commander]].
Fleet Master is the highest military office for an [[Elite]] except for [[Supreme Commander]], or perhaps an [[Imperial Admiral]]. Politically, the highest [[rank]] obtainable by an [[Elite]] is the rank of [[Councilor]]. Fleet Masters are one step higher than an [[Elite]] [[Ship Master]]. 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 starships for that task. This shows they could be the [[Covenant]] equivalent to a [[UNSC]] [[Rear Admiral]]. Since Fleet Masters are such a high rank, it is assumed that they may also command the entire Fleet should their [[Supreme Commander]] or [[Imperial Admiral]] be incapacitated during space combat, though this is still unconfirmed.


They normally operate from a large warship, such as a [[Reverence-class Cruiser]]. This can especially be seen in ''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', as the [[Imperial Admiral]] [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]] commanded a Supercarrier, while the Fleet Master [[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]], operated from a [[Reverence-class Cruiser]].<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', pages 191/ 278</ref>

[[The Arbiter]], should their role ever require it, could probably be assigned the role of Fleet Master.

Nizat 'Kvarosee, the fleetmaster of the Fleet of Inexorable Obedience.

"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 fleetmaster[1]

Fleetmaster,[2] occasionally rendered as Fleet Master,[1] is one of the highest titles given to individuals in command of fleets within the Covenant military.[1] On the eve of the Great Schism, the High Prophet of Truth granted the title to several Jiralhanae.[3]

The title of Fleetmaster was above the authority of Shipmaster and below the authority of Supreme Commander.

Overview[edit]

One of the varying degrees of command titles within the Covenant fleet, the title of fleetmaster was given to the officer in command of a fleet. 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 promoted several Jiralhanae to the title of fleetmaster in preparation for his plans to remove the Sangheili from the Covenant.[3] Following the empire's collapse during the Great Schism, some Sangheili still held the title of fleetmaster.[4][5]

Wearing golden combat harnesses to signify their command position,[6] fleetmasters normally utilize a large warship as their flagship, such as a CAS-class assault carrier or Varric-pattern heavy cruiser.[7] Following the fall of the Covenant, some fleetmasters have found that ancient Rwaru-pattern carrack merchant cruisers are surprisingly capable and resilient troop and materiel transports in modern conflicts.[5] When Voro 'Mantakree was promoted from major to a fleetmaster, 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 fleetmasters. Fleetmasters can order tweaks on starships for their fleet during the ship's construction.[8]

Fleetmasters personally appointed by the Hierarchs to lead major expeditions were promoted to the title of Supreme Commander.[9]
