| The leader of the local Yanme'e, Hopalong offered [[Team Black]] an alliance between the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] and Yanme'e as a species, offering to lead them into the [[Beacon]] set up on the planet to allow them to destroy it. In exchange, he sought to free his Yanme'e brothers.{{Ref/Reuse|BI}} | |

| ==Trivia==
| |
| Even though Hopalong was a nickname, he was the only named Yanme'e in the ''Halo'' series prior to the mention of Covenant shipwright [[Tek'ch]] in ''[[Halo: Warfleet – An Illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo]]''.
