| The '''Covenant Navy''' is the branch of the [[Covenant military]] responsible solely for space operations.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=thesoundofsack '''Bungie.net''': ''The Tru7h About Co-Op in Halo 3'']</ref> Its roles include ship-to-ship combat, [[Glassing|orbital bombardment]], the deployment of fighters and bombers and the method of delivery for the Covenant's occupational ground forces. At its height, it fielded thousands of warships, most being able to carry fighters, dropships, ground troops and vehicles.

| ==Great Schism==
| |
| Throughout the majority of the Covenant civil conflict known as the [[Great Schism]], the Covenant military was violently splintered between those who continued to believe in the [[San 'Shyuum|Prophet]]'s wisdom and the [[Covenant separatists]], who followed the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]] and opposed the Prophets' rule. As the battle raged, the [[Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth]] formally transferred command of the Covenant Navy to the [[Jiralhanae]], a position once exclusively held by the [[Sangheili]]. The Covenant separatists wiped out the primary loyalist fleet at the [[Battle of Installation 00]].
| |
| | |
| A large portion of the capital warships larger than the standard CCS-class battlecruiser apparently sided with the Sangheili as they had a monopoly on command positions prior to the Great Schism. The separatists' numbers were reduced by the disasters [[Battle of Onyx|at Onyx]], where a battlegroup headed by the ''Reverence''-class cruiser ''[[Incorruptible]]'' was destroyed, and at [[Joyous Exultation]], where the massive [[Combined Fleet of Righteous Purpose]], headed by [[Imperial Admiral]] [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]] aboard the [[CSO-class supercarrier|supercarrier]] ''[[Sublime Transcendence]]'', was consumed by a [[NOVA bomb]]. This limited the organized Sangheili fleet to the [[Fleet of Retribution]], which was led by the [[CAS-class assault carrier|assault carrier]] ''[[Shadow of Intent]]''. The Jiralhanae fleet was mostly limited to [[Truth's fleet]], which outnumbered the Sangheili three to one by the time of the [[Battle of Installation 00]]; this fleet contained a number of CCS-class battlecruisers and CAS-class assault carriers.
