The '''Combined Fleet of Righteous Purpose'''<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', page 239</ref> was a massive [[Covenant fleet]], likely comprised of several smaller [[fleet]]s or battle groups. It was responsible for guarding a portion of the outlying Covenant empire. It was led by the [[Imperial Admiral]] [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]] and consisted of at least four smaller fleets of around at least two hundred ships. | The '''Combined Fleet of Righteous Purpose'''<ref>'''''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''''', page 239</ref> was a massive [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Covenant Fleet|fleet]], likely comprised of several smaller [[fleet]]s or battle groups.

During the [[Great Schism | During the [[Great Schism]], the fleet was under the control of the [[Sangheili]]. The fleet met with as many other Sangheili-controlled ships as possible at the outpost world of [[Joyous Exultation]] to plan a massive counter-offensive against the [[Jiralhanae]]. A number of ships from the fleet left with the ''[[Incorruptible]]'' for [[Onyx]]. Moments later, much of the fleet and the planet were destroyed by a [[NOVA bomb]] on the flagship of the fleet - the [[Covenant Supercarrier|supercarrier]] ''[[Sublime Transcendence]]''. However, due to the large size of the area of space that the fleet was occupying, about two-fifths of the fleet were out of range and survived. Some of these ships went out and reinforced the remaining fleet at Onyx, while the rest likely went to defend [[Sanghelios]]. The vessels that travelled to Onyx were later annihilated by the world's [[Onyx Sentinel|Sentinels]]. | ||
The Jiralhanae, knowing that Joyous Exultation would serve as an anchor point for the [[Covenant Separatists|Separatist forces]], intended to lay siege to the planet. By the time they arrived, however, both the planet and the fleet had been destroyed.<ref>'''''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''''', page 270</ref> | |||
