The '''Fleet of Swift Justice''' is a [[fleet]] unit within the [[Covenant military]].

==History==
{{Main|Battle of Netherop}}
In June of [[2526]], the fleet was dispatched to [[Netherop]] to hunt down the disgraced fleetmaster [[Nizat 'Kvarosee]] and his [[Flotilla of Unsung Piety]]. The fleet exited [[slipspace]] in the system on June 7, exiting on the far side of the planet to the [[UNSC]]'s [[Task Force Pantea]] - hoping to box the Covenant [[Treason|traitors]] between the fleet and the human enemy force.{{Ref/Reuse|HOB11}} Believing the force to be sent to disrupt the UNSC mission, Task Force Pantea engaged the fleet, though noting they would not be able to hold it off for long. The fleet's lead carrier deployed a single {{Pattern|Mokol'ta|Spirit}} dropship to the planet, fearful of simply using [[orbital bombardment]] for fear of destroying the [[Luminal Beacon]]s stolen by Nizat.

The fleet was able to overpower the UNSC task force with ease, and eventually departed the system - having [[marooning|marooned]] Nizat and his cadre on the planet as punishment for their actions. In order to ensure that Nizat would not be rescued, the fleet established an [[orbital mine shell]] around the planet which also prevented the UNSC from rescuing stranded human survivors.{{Ref/Novel|Oblv|Chapter=21}}{{Ref/Novel|Oblv|Chapter=Epilogue}} However, at least two of their own people ended up being stranded as well; [[Klemas 'Teodoree]], a [[Sangheili Ranger]] who had lost his leg in the battle, and [[Meduz 'Ra'ashai]], a Silent Shadow [[Blademaster]].{{Ref/Novel|Out|Chapter=10}} These personnel ultimately joined forces with Nizat and his [[Defenders of the Sanctum]] to survive on Netherop for the next thirty years. 'Teodoree was later killed by Sangheili [[Oath Warden]] [[Crei 'Ayomuu]] while 'Ra'ashai surrendered to the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] -- who cleared out the mine shell in their hunt for the [[Divine Hand]] -- becoming the only survivor of the Defenders of the Sanctum.
