Fleets were a mainstay element of the Covenant's interstellar presence. Particularly large fleets or combined fleets were called armadas. Rather than being organized under one naval organization, the Covenant's mainline fleets were spread out under various ministries. Fleets were also regularly operated by regional governments, clans, holy orders, guilds, and other organizations that existed within the Covenant, though few rivaled the power of the ministerial fleets.

This page lists Covenant fleets of some relevance.[note 1]

Types[edit | edit source]

Ministerial fleets
  • Battle groups - unceremoniously called that by the UNSC but could have an original name
  • Flotillas/smaller-scale formations?
  • Mainline fleets
  • Select fleets
  • Combined fleets
Others
  • Commercial / trade fleets
  • Migratory / Peripate fleets (or "caravans")

Combined fleets[edit | edit source]

Combined fleets are large armadas formed from multiple separate fleets, formed at the High Council's express orders. This often happens on a temporary basis such as for the duration of a large-scale campaign out of the need to coordinate operations in a given theater. However, combined fleets can also endure semi-permanently or permanently when assigned under the leadership of high-ranking commanders, such as Imperial Admirals. Combined fleets' component elements retain some degree of autonomy and are often given specific tasks. This is especially useful with combined fleets of a multi-ministerial composition, though it was also known to lead to communication difficulties between fleet- and shipmasters due to the Covenant's known issues with internal feuds and rivalries.

Combined Fleet of Righteous Purpose[edit | edit source]

Commanded by Imperial Admiral Xytan Jar 'Wattinree, tasked to defend the Holy Ecumene's inner spinward marches. Performed various logistical duties during the Human-Covenant War. Annihilated by NOVA bomb in November 2552.

Combined Fleet of Boundless Obeisance[edit | edit source]

Commanded by Imperial Admiral Gervul Jar 'Shaol, tasked to secure the Covenant's trailing quarter. Led a remote campaign at the time of the Great Schism, later reformed as the navy of a Concord splinter polity.

Combined Fleet of Resplendent Immolation[edit | edit source]

Organized for the invasion of Reach. Commanded by Supreme Commander Pharil 'Suranee.

Combined Fleet of Igneous Ablution[edit | edit source]

Organized by the High Prophet of Truth for the invasion of Earth and the preparation for his arrival. First combined fleet to be exclusively led and staffed by Jiralhanae.

Combined Fleet of Virtuous Ascendancy[edit | edit source]

Main article: Combined Fleet of Virtuous Ascendancy

Organized by the High Council in 2526, following Operation: SILENT STORM and the destruction of Zhoist. This fleet was commanded by Imperial Admiral 'Wattinree prior to 2540, when he was re-assigned to Righteous Purpose. At this time, the Combined Fleet of Virtuous Ascendancy was disbanded and the various Ministerial elements given authorisation to resume the ongoing war as they saw fit.
