The '''Covenant fleet''' is a general term for the vast space-borne naval components of the [[Covenant]]'s [[Covenant military|military forces]].<ref>''Halo: Contact Harvest'', p. 226</ref><ref>''[[Halo: The Great Journey: The Art of Building Worlds]]'', p. 72</ref> Their roles included ship-to-ship combat, [[Glassing|orbital bombardment]], the deployment of fighters and bombers and the method of delivery for the Covenant's occupational ground forces. At its height, the Covenant fielded thousands of warships, most being able to carry fighters, dropships, ground troops and vehicles. Each Covenant fleet unit is essentially a fully-rounded armada, and is given a unique name with religious connotations similar to how Covenant vessels and colony worlds are named by their beliefs. | The '''Covenant fleet''' is a general term for the vast space-borne naval components of the [[Covenant]]'s [[Covenant military|military forces]].<ref>''Halo: Contact Harvest'', p. 226</ref><ref>''[[Halo: The Great Journey: The Art of Building Worlds]]'', p. 72</ref> Their roles included ship-to-ship combat, [[Glassing|orbital bombardment]], the deployment of fighters and bombers and the method of delivery for the Covenant's occupational ground forces.

Despite the seemingly monolithic nature of its armed forces, the Covenant does not maintain a single standing navy. Instead, its fleets are partitioned between several martial and [[Ministry|ministerial organisations]], expanding and contracting as their parent ministry's influence waxes and wanes in prestige and influence.{{Ref/ | Despite the seemingly monolithic nature of its armed forces, the Covenant does not maintain a single standing navy.
