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. | 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 relatively lightly armored. Their armor consists of blue composite alloy and gray plumage. Minors are not equipped with [[energy shielding]] because they prefer mobility and agility over direct protection. | Minors are relatively lightly armored.

They can also leap onto rooftops during combat in order to avoid fire or to get a better shot. However, unlike Jackal infantry, Skirmisher Minors do not carry [[Kig-Yar point defense gauntlet|shields]] for protection. At long or medium range, a single precision headshot with a [[M392 DMR|DMR]] or a [[M6G magnum|pistol]] is usually sufficient to bring down a Skirmisher Minor on any difficulty. At close range, they are vulnerable to automatic weapons, [[shotgun]]s, and [[melee]] attacks. | ||
