The '''Fleet Master''' is a high-ranking Elite within the [[Covenant]]. This grade of [[Zealot]] commands [[Task Force]]s and small fleets.
'''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>


== Rank ==
The title of Fleetmaster was above the authority of [[Shipmaster]] and below the authority of [[Supreme Commander]].


Fleet Master is the highest office for an Elite [[Zealot]] except for [[Supreme Commander]]. Whenever a small fleet is needed for any mission away from the entirety of the Covenant fleet, a Fleet Master commands those ships during that task. This shows they could be the Covenant equivalent to a [[UNSC]] Rear Admiral. They may also command the entire fleet if the [[Supreme Commander]] or the [[Imperial Admiral]] should be killed during space combat.
==Overview==
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>


They normally operate from a large warship, as a [[Reverence-class Cruiser]], but not as big as a [[Assault Carrier]] or [[Supercarrier]]. This can especially be seen in [[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], as the [[Imperial Admiral]] [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]] commanded from a [[Supercarrier]], while the Fleet Master ([[Voro 'Mantakree]]), operated from a [[Reverence-class Cruiser]].
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 [[Councilor]]s decide to get involved in military operations, they too could probably have the authority of rank to command a fleet, even having Zealots 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 'Mantakree, who commanded a small task force to Onyx in order to follow the [[CPV-class Heavy Destroyer|Covenant Destroyer]] [[Bloodied Spirit]].

Like all Zealot Elite ranks, the Fleet Master has golden armor. If an Elite of a different rank would be assigned this role, no changes in his armor would likely be made.

{{Sangheili Ranks}}
 
*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.
 
== Known Fleet Masters ==
 
*[[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]] - Ship Master of the Incorruptible, who led a fleet to follow the [[Bloodied Spirit]].
Voro 'Mantakree appears in the book "[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]". He starts out as a [[Major Domo]] [[Covenant Elite]] who is forced to kill his [[Ship Master]] when the superior officer goes mad from the "glory" of the [[The Halos|ring world]] known as [[Installation 05|Delta Halo]].
When Voro assumes control of the [[Covenant Destroyer|Covenant destroyer]], he engages several [[Brute]] vessels and narrowly escapes. Voro is then summoned to a meeting, along with his fellow Ship Masters. Once there, [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree|Xytan 'Jar Watinree]], a high-ranking [[Elite]], promotes him for his wisdom.
