Fleet of Particular Justice

The Fleet of Particular Justice was a Covenant Naval unit. It was formerly led by Supreme Commander Thel 'Vadamee. This fleet was responsible for glassing Reach, and pursued the to Installation 04.

Overview
The Fleet of Particular Justice was one of the Covenant's larger fleets, exceeded only by 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 known as High Charity.

Formation
The Fleet of Particular Justice was formed in 2534 during a reorganization of the Covenant Military as ordered by the High Prophets, against the wishes of the conservative Sangheili fleet commanders.

Fall of Reach
The Fleet was present at the Battle of Reach under the leadership of Thel 'Vadamee. Though the Fleet succeeded in glassing Reach, it took heavy casualties during the battle, mainly because of the planet's defending Mk. V "Super" MAC-equipped Orbital Defense Platforms and a well-placed nuclear minefield. Over two-thirds of the Fleet were lost taking the planet.

Battle of Installation 04
After the fall of Reach, Thel 'Vadamee ordered those closest to his flagship to pursue the Pillar of Autumn to Installation 04. The Covenant warships, being naturally faster than human warships, arrived at Halo first and set up a blockade to prevent the humans from landing on the installation. Due to the Minor Prophet in the Fleet's decree which forbids the usage of Plasma Torpedoes against the human warship due to concerns that the installation might be damaged in the crossfire, 'Vadamee was forced to send boarders over to capture and disable the human ship instead. In the battle that followed, the Autumn managed to destroy at least four of the Fleet's cruisers and damage several others, including the Truth and Reconciliation. Worse for the Covenant, the Autumn managed to hold off the boarding parties long enough to launch its escape pods at Halo. The Covenant destroyed some of the pods, but the rest landed on the ring. The Pillar of Autumn itself soon crash landed on Halo despite the Fleet's best efforts to stop it.

During the next several days of the Battle of Installation 04, the Fleet of Particular Justice remained in orbit around Halo, sending numerous troops down to the surface in an attempt to both learn the secrets of the ring and to eliminate the human presence. Because the ring was considered sacred, the Fleet was unable to simply wipe the humans out from orbit as they were accustom to doing so. The Fleet eventually had their Agriculture Support Ship, the Infinite Succor, boarded and subsequently hijacked by the Flood. Realizing that the battle on Halo's surface would be lost due to the overwhelming Flood, the Covenant Leadership ordered the Fleet of Particular Justice to retreat from Halo.

Fate
It is unlikely that all ships under the Fleet of Particular Justice were present during the Battle of Installation 04; those closest to Thel's flagship were called upon to assist him in the pursuit of the Pillar of Autumn while the rest of the Fleet continued their glassing operations on Reach to ensure the planet's fall. For all intent and purposes, however, the Fleet of Particular Justice effectively ceased to exist as a unit after the destruction of Alpha Halo. The remaining ships and crews within the Fleet were subsequently transferred to other parts of the Covenant Military.
