'''Fleetmaster''',<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', ''page 147''</ref> occasionally rendered as '''Fleet Master''',<ref name="goo243">'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 243''</ref> is one of the highest titles given to individuals in command of [[Covenant fleet|fleet]]s within the [[Covenant]] [[Covenant military|military]].{{Ref/Reuse|goo243}} On the eve of the [[Great Schism]], the [[Hierarchs|High]] [[Prophet of Truth]] granted the title to several [[Jiralhanae]].<ref name="jiralhanae">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/tartarus '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Tartarus'']</ref>
The '''Fleet Master''' is a very high-ranking [[Sangheili]] within the [[Covenant Navy]]. This grade of "Elite" commands [[Task Force]]s and small [[Fleet]]s. <ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', page 243</ref>


The title of Fleetmaster was above the authority of [[Shipmaster]] and below the authority of [[Supreme Commander]].
== Rank ==
Whenever a small Fleet is needed for any mission away from the entirety of the [[Covenant]] Navy, a Fleet Master will be assigned and given command of several star ships for that task. This shows they could be the Covenant equivalent to a [[UNSC]] [[Rear Admiral]]. Since Fleet Masters are such a high rank, it is assumed that they may also command the entire Fleet should their [[Supreme Commander]] or [[Imperial Admiral]] be incapacitated during space combat, though this is still unconfirmed.


==Overview==
They normally operate from a large warship, such as a [[Reverence-class Cruiser]]. This can especially be seen in ''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', as the [[Imperial Admiral]] [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]] commanded a Super carrier, while the Fleet Master [[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]], operated from a Reverence-class Cruiser.<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', pages 191/278</ref>
One of the varying degrees of command titles within the [[Covenant fleet]], the title of fleetmaster was given to the officer in command of a [[fleet]]. The title was originally only assigned to [[Sangheili]] officers within the Covenant fleet, though towards the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the [[High Prophet of Truth]] promoted several [[Jiralhanae]] to the title of fleetmaster in preparation for his plans to remove the Sangheili from the [[Covenant]].{{Ref/Reuse|jiralhanae}} Following the empire's collapse during the [[Great Schism]], some Sangheili still held the title of fleetmaster.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/brute-force '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Community Update - Brute Force'']</ref><ref name="holiday shipping">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-holiday-shipping '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Holiday Shipping'']</ref>


Wearing golden [[combat harness]]es to signify their command position,<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 371''</ref> fleetmasters normally utilize a large [[warship]] as their [[flagship]], such as a {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} or {{Pattern|Varric|heavy cruiser}}.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''pages 191-278''</ref> Following the fall of the Covenant, some fleetmasters have found that ancient {{Pattern|Rwaru|carrack}} merchant [[cruiser]]s are surprisingly capable and resilient troop and materiel transports in modern conflicts.{{Ref/Reuse|holiday shipping}} When Voro 'Mantakree was promoted from [[Sangheili Major|major]] to a fleetmaster, [[Imperial Admiral]] [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]] bestowed a middle name upon him, making his name [[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]].{{Ref/Reuse|goo243}} However, a middle name is not given to all fleetmasters. Fleetmasters can order tweaks on starships for their fleet during the ship's construction.<ref name="canonfodder">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-have-s-moa '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder: Have S'moa'']</ref>
[[The Arbiter]], should their role ever require it, could probably be assigned the role of Fleet Master. As well, should [[Councilors]] decide to get involved in military operations, they too could probably have the authority of rank to command an entire Fleet, even having [[Zealot]]s subordinate to them.


Fleetmasters personally appointed by the [[Hierarchs]] to lead major expeditions were promoted to the title of [[Supreme Commander]].<ref>''Halo: Warfleet'', p. 92</ref>
Only one Fleet Master is officially known, [[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]], who commanded a small task force to the planet of [[Onyx]] in order to acquire the holy relics and technologies from the planet.<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', page 243</ref>


==Known fleetmasters==
== Physical Appearance ==
*[[Arkad Nar 'Kulul]] - Fleetmaster of the [[Fleet of Recalcitrant Ire]], which the assault carrier ''[[Enduring Conviction]]'' belonged to.<ref>'''[[Halo: Rise of Atriox]]''' - ''[[Halo: Rise of Atriox Issue 4|Issue #4]]''</ref>
Fleet Masters don't appear to have any changes on their armor from other Elites of the same rank (for example, it is impossible to tell a Zealot Fleet Master apart from a Zealot Field Master based on armor alone). Their armor is Gold/Yellow.
*[[Kantar 'Utaralee]] – Fleetmaster of an unidentified fleet,<ref>[http://www.spartangames.co.uk/new-formations-for-halo-fleet-battles '''Spartan Games''': ''New Formations for Halo: Fleet Battles'']</ref> perhaps the remnants of the [[Fleet of Valiant Prudence]].
*[[Nizat 'Kvarosee]] - Shipmaster of the {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} ''[[Pious Rampage]]''; fleetmaster of the [[Fleet of Inexorable Obedience]]
*[[Rojka 'Kasaan]] – Shipmaster of ''ORS''-class heavy cruiser ''[[Unwavering Discipline]]''; former fleetmaster of [[Rak]]'s fleet.<ref>'''[[Halo: Envoy]]'''</ref>
*[[Rtas 'Vadum]] – [[Shipmaster]] of {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} ''[[Shadow of Intent]]''; fleetmaster of the [[Fleet of Retribution]].<ref>'''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''page 136'' (2011)</ref>
*[[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]] – [[Shipmaster]] of {{Pattern|Varric|heavy cruiser}} ''[[Incorruptible]]'', who led a fleet to follow ''[[Bloodied Spirit]]'' to [[Onyx]].{{Ref/Reuse|goo243}}
*[[Unidentified shipmaster (Righteous Vigilance)|Unidentified shipmaster]] – Shipmaster of a ''CAS''-class assault carrier; fleetmaster of the [[Fleet of Righteous Vigilance]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions]]''', "[[The Return]]", ''page 493''</ref>

== Trivia ==
*''[[Halo: The Flood]]''
*When [[Voro 'Mantakree]] was promoted from [[Major Domo]] to a Zealot Fleet Master, an extra part was added to his name, making it [[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]].
**''[[Priority Broadcast Log/Eleventh Cycle, Third Unit]]'' {{Mo}}
*A Fleet Master may prospectively have more authority than a [[Field Master]], since delivering an army to the battlefield may fall into one of the responsibilities performed by a Fleet Master.
