The '''Fleet of Retribution'''<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=thesoundofsack '''Bungie.net:''' ''The Tru7h About Co-Op In Halo 3'']</ref> was a [[Covenant fleet|naval formation]] composed of ships under [[Sangheili]] command that broke off from the [[High Charity defense fleet]], including [[Second Fleet of Homogeneous Clarity]], when the [[Great Schism]] began. The fleet was led by former [[Special Operations Commander]] of the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]] [[Rtas 'Vadum]], with ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'' serving as the flagship. The Fleet of Retribution was the only known group within the [[Covenant separatists]] to ally with the [[UNSC]] during the Great Schism. The fleet briefly took in forces from the devastated [[UNSC Home Fleet]] during the final days of the [[Human-Covenant War]]. During the [[Battle of Installation 00|joint assault]] on the [[Forerunner]] [[Installation 00]], the fleet played an instrumental role in bringing about the Covenant's defeat. After the war, the fleet's personnel and naval components would be incorporated into the reformed [[Swords of Sanghelios]]. | The '''Fleet of Retribution'''<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=thesoundofsack '''Bungie.net:''' ''The Tru7h About Co-Op In Halo 3'']</ref> was a [[Covenant fleet|naval formation]] composed of ships under [[Sangheili]] command that broke off from the [[High Charity defense fleet]], including the [[Second Fleet of Homogeneous Clarity]], when the [[Great Schism]] began.

Together, they formulated a plan to get to Earth and also for sterilization and quarantine of the spreading Flood on the Halo Installation 05.
