The '''Fleet Master''' is a very high-ranking [[Sangheili]] within the [[Covenant Navy]]. This grade of "Elite" commands [[Task Force]]s and small [[Fleet]]s. <ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', page 243</ref>
'''Fleetmaster''',<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', ''page 147''</ref> occasionally rendered as '''Fleet Master''',<ref name="goo243">'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 243''</ref> is one of the highest titles given to individuals in command of [[Covenant fleet|fleet]]s within the [[Covenant]] [[Covenant military|military]].{{Ref/Reuse|goo243}} On the eve of the [[Great Schism]], the [[Hierarchs|High]] [[Prophet of Truth]] granted the title to several [[Jiralhanae]].<ref name="jiralhanae">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/tartarus '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Tartarus'']</ref>


== Rank ==
The title of Fleetmaster was above the authority of [[Shipmaster]] and below the authority of [[Supreme Commander]].
Whenever a small Fleet is needed for any mission away from the entirety of the [[Covenant]] Navy, a Fleet Master will be assigned and given command of several&nbsp;warships for the mission. This shows they could be the Covenant equivalent to a [[UNSC]] [[Rear Admiral]]. Since Fleet Masters are such a high rank, it is assumed that they may also command the entire Fleet should their [[Supreme Commander]] or [[Imperial Admiral]] be incapacitated during space combat, though this is still unconfirmed.


They normally operate from a large warship, such as a [[Reverence-class Cruiser]]. An example of this can be seen in ''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', in which the Fleet Master [[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]] operates from the Reverence-class Cruiser ''[[Incorruptible]]'' .<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', pages 191-278</ref>
==Overview==
One of the varying degrees of command titles within the [[Covenant fleet]], the title of fleetmaster was given to the officer in command of a [[fleet]]. The title was originally only assigned to [[Sangheili]] officers within the Covenant fleet, though towards the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the [[High Prophet of Truth]] promoted several [[Jiralhanae]] to the title of fleetmaster in preparation for his plans to remove the Sangheili from the [[Covenant]].{{Ref/Reuse|jiralhanae}} Following the empire's collapse during the [[Great Schism]], some Sangheili still held the title of fleetmaster.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/brute-force '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Community Update - Brute Force'']</ref><ref name="holiday shipping">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-holiday-shipping '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Holiday Shipping'']</ref>


[[The Arbiter]], should their role ever require it, could probably be assigned the role of Fleet Master. As well, should [[Councilors]] decide to get involved in military operations, they too could probably have the authority of rank to command an entire Fleet, even having [[Zealot]]s subordinate to them.
Wearing golden [[combat harness]]es to signify their command position,<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 371''</ref> fleetmasters normally utilize a large [[warship]] as their [[flagship]], such as a {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} or {{Pattern|Varric|heavy cruiser}}.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''pages 191-278''</ref> Following the fall of the Covenant, some fleetmasters have found that ancient {{Pattern|Rwaru|carrack}} merchant [[cruiser]]s are surprisingly capable and resilient troop and materiel transports in modern conflicts.{{Ref/Reuse|holiday shipping}} When Voro 'Mantakree was promoted from [[Sangheili Major|major]] to a fleetmaster, [[Imperial Admiral]] [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]] bestowed a middle name upon him, making his name [[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]].{{Ref/Reuse|goo243}} However, a middle name is not given to all fleetmasters. Fleetmasters can order tweaks on starships for their fleet during the ship's construction.<ref name="canonfodder">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-have-s-moa '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder: Have S'moa'']</ref>


== Physical Appearance ==
Fleetmasters personally appointed by the [[Hierarchs]] to lead major expeditions were promoted to the title of [[Supreme Commander]].<ref>''Halo: Warfleet'', p. 92</ref>
Fleet Masters don't appear to have any changes on their armor from other Elites of the same rank (for example, it is impossible to tell a Zealot Fleet Master apart from a Zealot Field Master based on armor alone). Their armor is Gold/Yellow.
