The Sangheili place significant importance on the title of shipmaster, and it often supersedes an individual's rank when they are being addressed. Thus, Sangheili in command of [[battle group]]-sized units,<ref name="return"/><ref name="h3"/> or in some cases entire fleets, have been referred to solely as shipmasters. Examples of this practice include [[Special Operations Commander]] [[Rtas 'Vadum]]ee, in command of the [[Fleet of Retribution]], and [[Jul 'Mdama]], addressed as shipmaster by his crew despite holding the rank of Supreme Commander in the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|revived Covenant]].<ref>'''Halo 4''', ''[[Terminal/Halo 4|Terminals]]''</ref> Occasionally, a [[San'Shyuum]] [[San'Shyuum High Councilor|High Councilor]] from the Covenant [[High Council]] would witness the [[glassing]] of a world. If the Prophet declared that the glassing performance pleased the "[[Forerunners|gods]]", the shipmaster's status would be greatly increased within the Covenant military.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions''', "The Return", ''page 314''</ref>

[[Jiralhanae]], being the other leading military caste of the Covenant, also can hold the title of shipmaster. [[Kig-Yar]] can also serve as shipmasters, although they primarily command ships of the Kig-Yar's own design; the [[missionary ship]]s employed by the Covenant's [[Ministry of Tranquility]] are the most noted example.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 81''</ref> Despite this, some Kig-Yar shipmasters would be granted control of a [[Covenant frigate]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Mortal Dictata]]''', ''pages 50-51''</ref> As Kig-Yar society is matriarchal, their ship commanders are most commonly female and thus hold the title of shipmistress. However, male Kig-Yar shipmasters still exist.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 381''</ref>
