During the [[Battle of Installation 05]], the [[Second Fleet of Homogeneous Clarity]] was split in two. Sangheili controlled ships and [[Jiralhanae]] controlled ships began to open fire on each other over [[High Charity]]. The Sangheili-controlled remnants of this fleet were reformed into the ''Fleet of Retribution'', which came under the command of Shipmaster [[Rtas 'Vadum]]. Many Covenant species in proximity to the Sangheili remained loyal to them during the conflict, notably the Unggoy and the Mgalekgolo.<ref name="Uprising">'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[Uprising]]''</ref> | During the [[Battle of Installation 05]], the [[Second Fleet of Homogeneous Clarity]] was split in two.

On Installation 05, [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] had formed an alliance with [[Sergeant]] [[Avery Johnson]] in order to stop [[Tartarus]] from activating it. This alliance shortly carried over to the rest of the ''Fleet of Retribution''. The Sangheili forces eventually triumphed at the Halo Installation and also blockaded the ringworld to prevent the [[Flood]] from escaping. However, [[Indulgence of Conviction|one Flood-controlled battlecruiser]] evaded the blockade and headed for [[Earth]]. Now allied with the [[UNSC]], The ''Fleet of Retribution'' arrived at Earth during the closing stages of the [[Battle of Voi]], soon after the Flood-controlled battlecruiser arrived. | On Installation 05, [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] had formed an alliance with [[Sergeant]] [[Avery Johnson]] in order to stop [[Tartarus]] from activating it.

After [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan]] [[John-117]] recovered a pre-recorded message from [[Cortana]], Shipmaster 'Vadum ordered the fleet to [[glassing|glass]] the area immediately surrounding Voi to prevent the parasite from spreading further, much to the dismay of [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]]. 'Vadum then attended an assembly on his flagship's bridge, wherein it was decided that a joint human-Sangheili force would pursue the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s [[Truth's fleet|fleet]] through the [[slipspace]] [[The Portal|portal]] that had recently been opened. Subsequently, the ''Fleet of Retribution'', along with the UNSC frigate ''[[UNSC Forward Unto Dawn|Forward Unto Dawn]]'', [[Battle of Installation 00|engaged]] the Prophet of Truth's forces at [[Installation 00]]. Confronted with an enemy which outnumbered them three to one, the ''Fleet of Retribution'' nevertheless succeeded in destroying the Covenant's orbital forces, assisting the UNSC on the surface of the Ark. The surviving members of the ''Fleet of Retribution'' and human forces evacuated Installation 00, leaving Truth's remaining forces to their doom. Only ''Shadow of Intent'' and ''Pious Inquisitor'' are known to have survived the Battle of Installation 00, though it is possible that other vessels remained intact. | After [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan]] [[John-117]] recovered a pre-recorded message from [[Cortana]], Shipmaster 'Vadum ordered the fleet to [[glassing|glass]] the area immediately surrounding Voi to prevent the parasite from spreading further, much to the dismay of [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]].
