The Protectorate Navy , also known as the Unggoy Naval Force, is the naval arm of the Protectorate Defence Force, responsible for protecting and safeguarding Balaho, Unggoy colonies and merchant convoy's of the Balaho Protectorate. Despite the size of the Unggoy population, the Naval Force is a remarkably small and under-armed force barely having only nine hundred active ships, the majority being Corvettes and Light Frigates and other light-tonnage vessels. In comparison, the UNSC maintains a standing naval force of 12,000 vessels of various tonnages while the Sangheili have an operating armada of 20,000 vessels.

History
The Protectorate Navy was first born during the Doisac War during a small-time operation concerning the fledgling Unggoy Resistance, where three human-trained Unggoy named Tiptap, Huptep and Fregup each armed with only a plasma pistol, a Sangheili melee knife and a dumb military AI Klaus commandeered a Destroyer from a Neo-Covenant refit and repair orbital station.

OPERATION:Freedom's Progress was one of the first strikes made by human and sangheili trained Unggoy operatives.
