After Tartarus was ultimately killed at the hands of Thel 'Vadam and the firing of the Installation 05 was averted, the new alliance formed between the Sangheili and UNSC shortly carried over to the rest of the Fleet of Retribution. The Arbiter, [[Miranda Keyes]] and [[Avery Johnson]] would rendezvous with 'Vadumee. Together, they formulated a plan to get to Earth and also for sterilization and quarantine of the spreading Flood on the Halo Installation 05. [[343 Guilty Spark]], the former [[monitor]] of the [[Installation 04]], remained with the fleet to coordinate containment efforts while the Arbiter, [[Usze 'Taham]], [[N'tho 'Sraom]], Keyes and Johnson, and the surviving UNSC forces raced back to Earth aboard one of the fleet's vessels to warn humanity and to locate the Ark before November 15, 2552.{{Ref/Reuse|lrh}}<ref name="lootcrate2">'''[[Halo Legendary Crate]]''', ''[[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops|Data Drop #2]]''</ref> | After Tartarus was ultimately killed at the hands of Thel 'Vadam and the firing of the Installation 05 was averted, the new alliance formed between the Sangheili and UNSC shortly carried over to the rest of the Fleet of Retribution.

It is unknown what happened to the rest of the fleet following the Rtas 'Vadum's battle group's departure to Earth and after High Charity, under the power of the [[Gravemind]], forced its way out of quarantine and made its way to Earth as well but later to the Ark instead to stop the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s attempt to activate the [[Halo Array]] at the massive Forerunner installation. | It is unknown what happened to the rest of the fleet following the Rtas 'Vadum's battle group's departure to Earth and after High Charity, under the power of the [[Gravemind]], forced its way out of quarantine and made its way to Earth as well but later to the Ark instead to stop the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s attempt to activate the [[Halo Array]] at the massive Forerunner installation. | ||

After recovering the message, the Shipmaster 'Vadum ordered the fleet to [[glassing|glass]] the area immediately surrounding Voi to prevent the parasite from spreading further. Thel 'Vadam convinced Rtas 'Vadum to exercise restraint when glassing. Thus, only an area of Africa was glassed instead of a much wider area. The fleet would have glassed the entire planet if it was not for the Arbiter's counsel. The glassing of Voi by the Sangheili was much to the dismay of [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]] who exaggeratedly accused them for glassing "half of the [[Africa|continent]]" most likely due to his continious distaste for his former foes for leading the Covenant forces against the humanity throughtout the [[Human-Covenant War]] and being responsible for the losses of many [[human colonies]] [[Fall of Reach|such as]] [[Reach]].{{Ref/Reuse|floodgate}} | After recovering the message, the Shipmaster 'Vadum ordered the fleet to [[glassing|glass]] the area immediately surrounding Voi to prevent the parasite from spreading further.

'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.

The Fleet of Retribution was composed of hundreds of warships during the glassing of [[Installation 05]], mostly composed of what it remains within the [[High Charity defense fleet]] when these ships did not join the [[Imperial Admiral]] [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]]'s [[Joyous Exultation|summons]] and its [[Combined Fleet of Righteous Purpose]]. At least one [[battle group]] of 16 warships of the fleet, including the flagship ''Shadow of Intent'', was present during the [[Battle for Earth]], where it eventually later participated in the [[Battle of Installation 00]].{{Ref/NoteReuse|composition}}<ref name=heretic>'''[[Halo 3]]''', multiplayer level ''[[Heretic]]''</ref> | The Fleet of Retribution was composed of hundreds of warships during the glassing of [[Installation 05]], mostly composed of what it remains within the [[High Charity defense fleet]] when these ships did not join the [[Imperial Admiral]] [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]]'s [[Joyous Exultation|summons]] and its [[Combined Fleet of Righteous Purpose]].
