A task force is an organization of Covenant ships, usually organized on a temporary basis and for a specific mission.[citation needed] A task force is smaller than a fleet. It is the rough equivalent of a UNSC battle group in terms of the number of ships.[citation needed] It is commanded by a Sangheili Zealot with the title of Fleet Master.
The amount of ships in a task force range from a handful to several dozen. Possibly due to their transient nature, Covenant task forces are not named, unlike Covenant fleets.[citation needed]
