A typical task force consisting of several Covenant ships.
A Task Force is an organization of Covenant ships, usually organized on a temporary basis and for a specific mission. A task force is smaller than a Fleet. It is the rough equivalent of a UNSC Battle Group in terms of the number of ships. It is commanded by a Elite Zealot with the title of Fleet Master.
The amount of ships in a task force range from a handful to several dozen. Possibly due to their transient nature, Covenant task forces are not named, unlike Covenant fleets.
Known Task Forces
- Another Covenant task force, referred to as Regret's Fleet, was sent to Earth, led by the Prophet of Regret. Regret's intent was to claim the Forerunner Artifact buried under the planet, but it was defeated in the Battle of Earth. It consisted of two Assault Carriers and thirteen CCS-class Battlecruisers.[1]
- Voro Nar 'Mantakree was put in charge of a task force by Imperial Admiral Xytan 'Jar Wattinree to pursue the captured Bloodied Spirit. Most of this Fleet was destroyed in the Battle of Onyx.[2]
