Function:	Commanders of task forces and fleets

Fleet Master, occasionally rendered as Fleetmaster, is a title given to individuals in command of task forces and fleets within the Covenant military. Prior to the dawn of the Great Schism, the title was given to the Jiralhanae.

Rank

Whenever a fleet or smaller task force is needed for any mission away from the entirety of the Covenant's navy a fleet master will be assigned and given command of several warships for the mission. In this regard, they could be considered the Covenant equivalent to a UNSC rear admiral. They normally operate from a large warship, such as a ORS-class heavy cruiser, as when Fleet Master Voro Nar 'Mantakree operated from the ORS-class cruiser Incorruptible during the Battle of Onyx.

When Voro 'Mantakree was promoted from a Sangheili Major to a Fleet Master, an extra part was added to his name, making it Voro Nar 'Mantakree. Fleet masters can order tweaks on starships for their fleet during the ship's construction.
