==Description==
==Description==
The Skirmisher Minor is the lowest rank of the Skirmishers, a branch of shock troops consisting of a larger and more heavily built subspecies of Kig-Yar known as T'vaoans. Minors are typically deployed in fireteams consisting of five to six members. They can sprint very quickly, evade effectively and jump several stories to reach high places or evade enemy fire. Unlike most [[Kig-Yar]], which are deployed in elevated defensive positions, Minors are deployed en masse to quickly overtake outposts and overwhelm enemies. Minors operate in a manner that is similar to Kig-Yar [[piracy|pirate]] "kill-squads" that once raided settlements in the [[Y'Deio system]] in the Kig-Yar's early history.{{Ref/Reuse|HE156}}
