Were you looking for the UNSC Navy?

The Covenant Navy is the branch of the Covenant military responsible solely for space 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. At its best, 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 War or commonly known as the "Great Schism," (as referred to by the Covenant Separatists) the Covenant Military was violently splintered between those loyal to Covenant, who continued to believe in the Prophet's wisdom and the separatists, who followed the Arbiter against them. As the battle raged, the 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.
