A '''fleet''' is a basic organizational component of the [[Covenant]] [[Covenant military|military]] as well as the forces of its various [[Covenant remnants|remnant factions]]. Each fleet is essentially a fully-rounded armada, likely with dedicated logistical support. Their roles include ship-to-ship combat, [[Glassing|orbital bombardment]], the deployment of fighters and bombers and the method of delivery for the Covenant's occupational ground forces. At its height, it fielded thousands of warships, most being able to carry fighters, dropships, ground troops and vehicles. Each fleet is given a unique name with religious connotations similar to how Covenant vessels and colony worlds are named by their beliefs. | A '''fleet''' is a basic organizational component of the [[Covenant]] [[Covenant military|military]] as well as the forces of its various [[Covenant remnants|remnant factions]].
