===Ranks within Jul 'Mdama's Covenant===
The rank structure in [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] retains much of the structure of the Covenant hegemony: Kig-Yar are lower-ranking than Sangheili and [[Mgalekgolo]], but have more authority than the [[Unggoy]]. The lowest rank in the faction for a Kig-Yar is the [[Kig-Yar Storm|Storm unit]]. This unit is virtually the same as the Minor rank in the Covenant, albeit inferior weapons and armor. With experience, Storm Kig-Yar can be promoted to the rank of [[Kig-Yar Heavy|Heavy]]. They are typically deployed as scouts and trackers, as well as for [[boarding]] actions.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/Universe/Detail/character-enemy-renders/421563ab-3b18-4e29-8487-3dd79b627a70#imageNumber=17 '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''New Halo 4 Renders'']</ref>
