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

==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>

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>

Fleetmasters personally appointed by the [[Hierarchs]] to lead major expeditions were promoted to the title of [[Supreme Commander]].<ref>''Halo: Warfleet'', p. 92</ref>
