The Fleet of Particular Justice was a Covenant naval unit. The Fleet of Particular Justice was one of the Covenant's largest fleets,[citation needed] known to have been surpassed only by Truth's fleet, the Combined Fleet of Righteous Purpose, led by Imperial Admiral Xytan 'Jar Wattinree, and the Second Fleet of Homogeneous Clarity, whose purpose was to defend the Covenant capital city, High Charity. It was formerly led by Supreme Commander Thel 'Vadamee. This fleet was part of the armada that was largely responsible for glassing Reach, and it pursued the UNSC Pillar of Autumn to Installation 04.
History[edit]
Formation[edit]
The Fleet of Particular Justice was formed in 2535 during a reorganization of the Covenant military as ordered by the Hierarchs, against the wishes of many conservative Sangheili High Councilors and fleet commanders. In gratitude for his service at the Rubble, Shipmaster Thel 'Vadamee was given command of a ship in the fleet.[1] The fleet first consisted of only five vessels, but eventually grew in size to nearly sixty ships. The Fleet of Particular Justice was first identified by the UNSC shortly after 2535, with Thel 'Vadamee now in command of the fleet.[2] Undiminished Entelechy was one of the first vessels assigned to the fleet.[4] Several Rasus-pattern interdictors also served in the fleet.[5]
Early engagements[edit]
In 2541, the planet of Alluvion was discovered by the Covenant. The next year in 2542,[6] would see the fleet participate in a battle for the planet.[7]
In 2546,[8] the fleet was involved in the assault on Camber, a human colony that manufactured UNSC Navy fleet materials. The Fleet of Particular Justice caught the UNSC forces on the moon completely unaware. Supreme Commander 'Vadamee led the ground and orbital assault before most of the colony was aware of the attack. While seventeen vessels in the fleet bombarded key defensive positions, 'Vadamee personally led an attack on the UNSC system headquarters. After most of the human forces on the moon were wiped out, 'Vadamee returned to his flagship, and the moon was glassed.[9]
Two years later in 2548,[8] the fleet would attack Bounty.[7]
2549 would see the most battles the fleet would participate in, with them glassing Mesa, Greydowns, Kroedis II, and Estuary.[8][7]
In total, the fleet was responsible for over one billion human casualties—23,000 of them military personnel—and the destruction of 120 UNSC ships.[7]
Fall of Reach[edit]
During the Fall of Reach in summer 2552, multiple Covenant fleets were dispatched to invade the planet,[10][11] among them the Fleet of Particular Justice which arrived on August 30.[12][13]
Before the initial battle, the Covenant sent a smaller advance fleet, the Fleet of Valiant Prudence, to Reach;[14] after Valiant Prudence's flagship, the Sh'wada-pattern supercarrier Long Night of Solace was destroyed, another Covenant fleet sent by the Ministry of Resolution arrived and began attacking the planet in earnest.[15] Over the coming weeks, the Covenant continued to whittle away at the UNSC's defenses until, on August 30, an armada consisting of 315 ships, among them the Fleet of Particular Justice, the Fleet of Righteous Vigilance and the Fleet of Holy Respite arrived. Over two-thirds of the combined fleet was destroyed, mainly because of the planet's defending "Super" MAC-equipped orbital defense platforms[16
