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 largely responsible for glassing Reach, and it pursued the to Installation 04.

Overview
The Fleet of Particular Justice was one of the Covenant's largest fleets, surpassed 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, High Charity.

Formation
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 fleet commanders. In gratitude for his service at the Rubble, Thel 'Vadamee was given command of a ship in the fleet.

Fall of Reach
During the Fall of Reach in summer 2552, a massive combined fleet was dispatched to invade the planet, though the Fleet of Particular Justice did not arrive until August 30. By this time, 'Vadamee had become the fleet's Supreme Commander.

Before the initial battle, the Covenant sent a smaller advance fleet, the Fleet of Valiant Prudence, to Reach; after Valiant Prudence's flagship, the Long Night of Solace was destroyed, another Covenant fleet, possibly the Fleet of Righteous Vigilance or the Fleet of Holy Respite, arrived and began attacking the planet in earnest. Over the coming weeks, the Covenant continued to whittle away at the UNSC's defenses until, on August 30, the Fleet of Particular Justice arrived. Over two-thirds of the fleet was destroyed, mainly because of the planet's defending "Super" MAC-equipped orbital defense platforms and an intervening nuclear minefield, though the defenders were soon overrun. Much of the fleet remained behind to glass the planet, though Supreme Commander 'Vadamee recalled those vessels nearest his flagship, Seeker of Truth, and pursued the as it escaped the planet.

Battle of Installation 04
On September 19, the Covenant warships, being faster than human ships, were the first to arrive at the Pillar of Autumn ' s destination: Halo Installation 04. They quickly established a blockade to prevent the humans from landing on the installation. 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. The Prophet of Stewardship then decreed that the fleet may not fire on the Pillar of Autumn for fear of hitting the ring, prompting several boarding parties to be dispatched to the ship; the Autumn ' s crew managed to hold off the boarding parties long enough to launch its escape pods at Halo. Supreme Commander 'Vadamee, ignoring the Prophet's edict, had his ships open fire on the Pillar of Autumn, destroying some of the pods, though 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.

Shortly after the fleet's arrival at Halo, a small scouting force with the supercarrier Ascendant Justice as its flagship was sent from High Charity to accompany the fleet in the recovery of the Forerunner construct. Over the next several days, the fleet remained in orbit around Halo, sending numerous troops 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 accustomed to doing.

Over the course of the battle, an internal crisis occurred within the fleet between Supreme Commander 'Vadamee and the Prophet of Stewardship. After the Prophet sent several artifact retrieval teams to a supposed Forerunner weapons cache, 'Vadamee ordered the Minor Prophet to stop misappropriating his forces. Receiving no response, 'Vadamee dispatched a team to Ascendant Justice to relieve the Prophet of his duties until the human forces were eliminated. However, Stewardship had the incoming ship destroyed and vowed to do the same with any future attempt to challenge his authority. 'Vadamee prepared to personally lead a strike force to apprehend the Prophet, but this was interrupted by the revelation that the Flood had broken loose on the ring. Meanwhile, the Prophet of Stewardship relocated with his personal security contingent to Truth and Reconciliation. 'Vadamee and his team subsequently boarded Ascendant Justice whose crew quickly swore allegiance to him.

On September 21, the fleet's agricultural support ship, Infinite Succor, was boarded and subsequently hijacked by the Flood. Realizing that the battle on Halo's surface would be lost due to the overwhelming Flood, Fleet Master 'Vadamee ordered the Fleet of Particular Justice to retreat from Halo — ignoring the Prophet of Stewardship's fleet-wide requests of rescue aboard Truth and Reconciliation. Truth and Reconciliation was taken over by first the Flood and then the humans, but was ultimately destroyed by being crashed into Halo. Upon learning that Spartan John-117 was about to detonate the Pillar of Autumn ' s engines in an effort to destroy Halo, 'Vadamee ordered all ships to take refuge behind Threshold to avoid being destroyed.

During the battle, an expeditionary team led by Sesa 'Refumee and Loka 'Bandolee had been sent by the Prophet of Stewardship to investigate a Forerunner gas mine in the atmosphere of Threshold, the gas giant that Halo orbited. Shortly after the ring's destruction, its monitor, 343 Guilty Spark, came into contact with this team within the gas mine. Upon meeting the ancilla, Sesa ordered that all communication with the fleet was to be cut so as to avoid the San 'Shyuums' interference as it told him the truth about the rings.

A routine log of the fleet's actions during the battle was filed. Supreme Commander Thel 'Vadamee sent a copy of this log to Lak 'Vadamee while he awaited the High Council's ruling on the matter of his part in Halo's destruction.
