The Covenant Navy is a branch of the Covenant Military responsible for naval operations. Its roles include ship-to-ship combat, orbital bombardment, the deployment of fighters and bombers and the method of delivery for the Covenant Army.[1]
Covenant Civil War
Throughout the majority of the Covenant Civil War or "Great Schism," (as referred by the Covenant Separatists) the Covenant Military was violently splintered between the Covenant Loyalists, who continued to believe in the Prophet's wisdom and the Covenant Separatists, who followed the Arbiter against them. The Covenant Separatists crushed the Loyalists at the Battle of Installation 00.
