The High Prophet of Truth further demoted the Sangheili by giving command of their fleets to the Jiralhanae, including the [[Fleet of Profound Solitude]], [[Fleet of Tranquil Composure]] and [[Fleet of Inner Knowledge]].<ref name="HWTimeline"/> Many Sangheili [[Shipmaster]]s and [[Fleetmaster]]s would be replaced with new Jiralhanae commanders.
