The Fleet glassing Reach as the Pillar Of Autumn flees

The Fleet of Particular Justice is a Covenant Naval unit.

It was formerly led by the Arbiter. This Fleet was present at the Battle of Reach, along with several other Elite controlled Fleets and pursued the UNSC Pillar of Autumn to Installation 04, also known as Alpha Halo.

Background

This Fleet, under the leadership of the future Arbiter, was accountable for all the Covenant forces the UNSC battles during the Battle of Installation 04. They fought the humans, the Forerunner constructs under command of 343 Guilty Spark and eventually the Flood.

As Installation 04 was destroyed, most of the Fleet was destroyed along with it, however several vessels survived, including six cruisers and the flagship of the Fleet, the Ascendant Justice.

The Fleet's exact size is still unknown, but it is stated that it is numbered around 300+ ships. It is highly possible that this Fleet is the one that assualted Reach. However, it is known to have contained at least 13 CCS-class Battlecruisers, at least two Assault Carriers. Images of the Fleet from Halo 2 suggest that it also contains dozens of smaller combat and support vessels. Within those ships was a massive army, containing perhaps hundreds of thousands of troops and maybe about a few thousand fighters.

One Artifact Retrieval team, led by Sesa 'Refumee, was on Threshold at the time of the Fleet's destruction. Upon discovery of 343 Guilty Spark, they rebelled and became the Heretics, a conflict that was a prelude to the Covenant Civil War.

Casualties

When the Fleet of Particular Justice constructed a blockade for the Pillar of Autumn on the exterior of Installation 04 it is believed that the Pillar of Autumn managed to destroy at least 4 of the Fleet's cruisers and damaged many others. At the end of the Battle of Installation 04 it is believed that several if not almost all ships were completely destroyed. However several vessels did survive, including six cruisers and a Flagship of the Fleet, the Ascendant Justice.[1]
