{{Status|Canon}}

'''Fleet Security''' was a division of the [[Covenant]] empire's [[Special Warfare Group]] (SWG), tasked with the security of a fleet.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=242}}{{Ref/Book|Id=EVG|EVG|Page=58}} Although the division ceased to exist with the [[Great Schism|collapse]] of the empire in late [[2552]], its structure was at least carried on in some form by the [[Covenant separatists]] in the immediate postwar weeks, with the [[Fleet of Retribution]] continuing to assign troops to its local Fleet Security roles throughout the conclusion of the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Site|Id=Bungie|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=thesoundofsack|Site=Bungie.net|Page=The Tru7th About Co-Op in Halo 3|D=31|M=01|Y=2021}}{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/usze-taham|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Usze 'Taham|D=14|M=05|Y=2021}}

Fleet Security was one of the major divisions of the Special Warfare Group, and like [[Home Security]], often worked closely alongside [[Covenant Special Operations]].{{Ref/Book|EVG|Page=59}} Fleet Security oversaw a number of specialised [[Sangheili]] special warfare forces. Of particular note, these included the [[Sangheili Ranger|Rangers]] and the [[Stealth Sangheili|Stealth]] forces.

 

The Rangers served aboard [[Covenant starship]]s as specialists in microgravity combat and [[Extra-vehicular activity|extra-vehicular activities]], and often made use of specialised [[antigravity pack]]s and [[Vacuum suit|vacuum]]-rated [[combat harness]]es. They were occasionally deployed in [[planetary warfare]] to make use of their enhanced mobility.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} Stealth units, on the hand, served as an offshoot of the [[Special Operations Officer]]s of Covenant Special Operations and were outfitted similarly. Unlike SpecOps personnel however, Stealth operatives were not intended to participate in independent special operations initiatives but were instead placed in regular [[Covenant military]] units to serve as noncombat reconnaissance and intelligence-gathering personnel.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc11|Enc11|Page=133}}{{Ref/Game|Id=LibraryElite|CEA|Library (feature)|Library|Detail=Stealth Elite}}

 

Select Stealth operatives holding the rank of [[Major (Covenant)|Major]] may be drawn to serve as an [[Ossoona]]{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}}; a special field operative working as a direct agent of the [[Hierarchs]].{{Ref/Reuse|LibraryElite}}
