'''Fleet Master''' is a very high and prestigious [[Sangheili]] rank within the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Covenant Navy|Navy]]. Sangheili fleet masters command [[Task Force|task forces]] and small [[fleet]]s.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', page 243</ref>
'''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]].
{{Main|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 warships for the mission. In this regard, they could be considered the Covenant equivalent to a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[Rear Admiral|rear admiral]]. Since fleet masters are of such a high rank, it is assumed that they may also command the entire fleet should their [[Supreme Commander|supreme commander]] or [[Imperial Admiral|imperial admiral]] be incapacitated during space combat.


They normally operate from a large warship, such as a [[Reverence-class Cruiser|''Reverence''-class cruiser]], as when Fleet Master [[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]] operated from the ''Reverence''-class cruiser ''[[Incorruptible]]'' during the [[Battle of Onyx]].<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', pages 191-278</ref>
==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>


{{Conjecturalization}}
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>
An [[Arbiter]], should his role require it, could probably be assigned the role of fleet master. As well, [[councilor]]s probably have the authority of rank to command an entire fleet, as even [[zealot]]s are subordinate to them. A Fleet Master may prospectively have more authority than a [[Field Master|field master]], since delivering an army to the battlefield is one of the responsibilities performed by a fleet master.

==Physical appearance==
Fleetmasters personally appointed by the [[Hierarchs]] to lead major expeditions were promoted to the title of [[Supreme Commander]].<ref>''Halo: Warfleet'', p. 92</ref>
Fleet masters wear the same yellow-gold armor as other zealot-level Sangheili.
