Fleet of Sworn Allegiance

The Fleet of Sworn Allegiance was a military fleet unit within the Covenant military under the command of fleetmaster Von 'Redonas that was destroyed during the Fall of High Charity.
== History ==
=== Battle of Horus ===
In 2544, Von 'Redonas, aboard the Fleet of Sworn Allegiance's flagship, Ancestor's Judgement, discovered the Human colony world of Horus and began a lone assault to glass the planet and destroy the colony there. The ship deployed its compliment of Banshees to engage the lone UNSC ship in orbit, the UNSC Devil You Know. The battle lasted only three minutes before the defending vessel was crippled and forced to retreat to Earth of repairs.
After the ship retreated, the Ancestor's Judgement descended into Horus's atmosphere unopposed and began glassing the planet, killing nearly the entire civilian population of Horus and destroying the colony.
=== Fall of High Charity ===
As Humanity was being brought down at their homeworld of Earth, the Covenant capital of High Charity was facing a number of rising issues at Installation 05. The Prophets' betrayal of the Sangheili shook Von's faith in the Covenant to his core, but he would have no time to ponder this, as High Charity was soon overcome in fighting between Sangheili, whom the Prophets had ordered genocide on, and the Jiralhanae, who the Prophets were using to carry out said act.
The battle was not contained on High Charity, as in the space around it, the colossal vessel's defense fleet erupted in battle as Sangheili and Jiralhanae-controlled ships fought each other. The entire Fleet of Sworn Allegiance was brought to bear against the Jiralhanae vessels, but all ships in the fleet, including the Ancestor's Judgement, would be destroyed.
Von managed to flee the station aboard a stolen Covenant vessel with any Sangheili willing to follow him and escaped before the Flood outbreak on High Charity that would see the millions that resided aboard it either killed or infected by the parasites as they spread across the city in the cover of darkness. The former home of the Covenant quickly became the largest hive of Flood ever seen, even coming to host the Gravemind aboard.
