Fleet Security was one of the major divisions of the Special Warfare Group, and like [[Home Security]], often worked closely alongside [[Covenant Special Operations]].{{Ref/Book|EVG|Page=59}} Fleet Security oversaw a number of specialised [[Sangheili]] special warfare forces. Of particular note, these included the [[Sangheili Ranger|Rangers]] and the [[Stealth Sangheili|Stealth]] forces. | |||
The | The Rangers served aboard [[Covenant starship]]s as specialists in microgravity combat and [[Extra-vehicular activity|extra-vehicular activities]], and often made use of specialised [[antigravity pack]]s and [[Vacuum suit|vacuum]]-rated [[combat harness]]es. They were occasionally deployed in [[planetary warfare]] to make use of their enhanced mobility.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} Stealth units, on the hand, served as an offshoot of the [[Special Operations Officer]]s of Covenant Special Operations and were outfitted similarly. Unlike SpecOps personnel however, Stealth operatives were not intended to participate in independent special operations initiatives but were instead placed in regular [[Covenant military]] units to serve as noncombat reconnaissance and intelligence-gathering personnel.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc11|Enc11|Page=133}}{{Ref/Game|Id=LibraryElite|CEA|Library (feature)|Library|Detail=Stealth Elite}} | ||
Select Stealth operatives holding the rank of [[Major (Covenant)|Major]] may be drawn to serve as an [[Ossoona]]{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}}; a special field operative working as a direct agent of the [[Hierarchs]].{{Ref/Reuse|LibraryElite}} | |||
