Fleet of Retribution
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Ratings Template:Infobox Military Unit
The Fleet of Retribution[1] was a former fleet serving under the Covenant. When the Great Schism began, this fleet was under Sangheili control. [2] It is a smaller organization of the Sangheilian Armed Forces.
Notable members of the Fleet of Retribution's Special Warfare Group were the Elites N’tho ‘Sraom and Usze ‘Taham.
Background
This unit, commanded and directed by Ship Master Rtas 'Vadum fought during the latter part of the Second Battle of Earth, as well as the smaller engagement, the Battle of Voi. Following the battle but prior to their engagement at Installation 00, Shipmaster V'adum ordered the ships under his command to glass the immediate area surrounding Voi following a brief exposure to The Flood in which a Flood-commandeered Covenant ship crash landed on Earth and the Flood began to spread. Much to the dismay of Lord Hood and the rest of the humans, the glassing was the only option if the Flood were to be completely stopped from overwhelming Earth.
Subsequently, they confronted Truth's Fleet at Installation 00 during the Battle of the Ark. Most of the ships survived due to the superior skill and equipment of the Elites. This Fleet was likely a collection of ships that survived the battle around High Charity that subsequently overcame both Covenant Loyalist and Flood forces in the skirmish. It is unknown how many ships survived the space battle against Truth's fleet because later in the game you only see the Shadow of Intent. So it could be possible that now survived.
Ships
- Shadow of Intent - Flagship
- CCS-class Battlecruisers - At least nine
- Later, at least 2 UNSC Frigates
Trivia
- A possible note is that this Fleet used modified plasma weaponry that was improved by the Humans, like what Cortana did in Operation: First Strike on the ship Ascendant Justice.
