Within the Covenant and its [[Covenant remnants|remnants]], the rank of [[Kig-Yar Minor|Minor]] is the lowest field rank a Kig-Yar can attain. They are armed with standard-strength, light-blue [[Kig-Yar point defense gauntlet|point defense gauntlets]] and small arms such as the [[Type-25 plasma pistol|plasma pistol]] or [[Type-33 Needler|Needler]].<ref name="e146-7">'''Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe''', ''pages 146-147''</ref> After gaining a sufficient amount of experience, Kig-Yar can be promoted to the rank of [[Kig-Yar Major|Major]]. Majors are more experienced than Minors and are issued stronger point-defense gauntlets that emit a violet, red or orange-colored shield and carry heavier weaponry. In the Covenant, Kig-Yar hold a relatively low position and have little authority. Minors are typically commanded by [[Sangheili]] or [[Jiralhanae]] leaders, while Majors may lead their own [[lance]] or even [[file (unit)|file]] consisting of low-ranking [[Unggoy]] and [[Yanme'e]] but are still subject to the command of the higher-ranking species.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}

Several specialist ranks exist of the Kig-Yar. The Kig-Yar rank of [[Kig-Yar Sniper|Sniper]] comprises the Covenant's foremost long-range combatants. They are known to carry weapons such as [[Gadulo-pattern needle rifle|needle rifles]] and [[Sulok-pattern beam rifle|particle beam rifles]], but do not use point defense gauntlets as to better wield their weapon. This is turn makes them more vulnerable and exposed to enemy fire. {{Ref/Reuse|e146-7}} [[Kig-Yar Ranger]]s are part of the Covenant's [[Special Warfare Group]] division, [[Fleet Security]], and are trained for zero-G [[Extra-vehicular activity|EVA]] combat, and are equipped with [[vacuum suit]]s and magnetic boots.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]'''</ref>
