Fleet of Incorruptible Resolve

Following the Great Schism's abrupt and bloody beginnings the Sangheili-Jiralhanae War had began in fever. Various fleets, many of which remnants of their former strength were deployed to protect the Sangheili colonies, some were sent deep within Jiralhanae territory to deliver striking blows into the enemies worlds. The Fleet of Incorruptible Resolve was among those surgical columns.

Great Schism
Originally lead by the flagship CAS-class Assault Carrier; Thrall of Sanctity, lead the fleet with feverish rage against the Humans during the Human-Covenant War. Refueling within Covenant Space before news of the Prophets betrayal reached the crew, the Thrall was already under siege by the loyalist forces manning the station. Final communications from the Thrall instructed the remainder of the fleet to pull out of refueling maneuvers and ready battle stations as the Jiralhanae had initiated a coup.

Command of the fleet quickly fell to the recently commissioned Orsan-pattern Heavy Cruiser; Fervid Pursuit, and its Shipmaster Xeko 'Karumee who now lead the entirety of the fleet as the security forces at the refueling station fired upon the vessels. The undermaintained fleet which had originally stood at its peak with over one hundred warships had been reduced through years of constant war to only 62, the initial coup had claimed all those docked in the refueling pylons leaving only 43 vessels remaining. The ensuing battle would claim all by 37 of the warships whom under Xeko 'Karumee's leadership would melt the station into molten orbs of debris.

As the Fleet attempted to establish communications with the rest of the Covenant forces the crews converted the debris of the station into a monolithic memorial to those fallen in the betrayal. It was not until days later of scavenging what could be found of fuel reserves not destroyed in the battle before communications from fellow Sangheili lead fleets warned of the prophets betrayal of the Sangheili.

Post War
Initially the Fleet of Incorruptible Resolve returned to Sangheili space to quell the parasitic Jiralhanae from their homes. As 2553 came to its later half Xeko 'Karum spoke before the remaining council to sanction his fleet into Jiralhanae Space to undo their packs from within. Granted by the Council and Thel Vadum the Fleet of Incorruptible Resolve regrouped its forces and left Sangheili space for extended deployment within Jiralhanae Space to deliver the wrath of the Sangheili.
