'''Minor''' | '''Minor''' is the lowest [[Unggoy]] rank in the [[Covenant military]]. They are the rough equivalent of the [[UNSC]] [[private]].<ref> '''Halo Encyclopedia''', pages 142-143 </ref><ref> '''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', page 87 </ref> Unggoy Minors continued to serve in [[Thel 'Vadam]]'s [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and [[Merg Vol]]'s [[Merg Vol's Covenant faction|reformed Covenant faction]] following the Covenant's dissolution. [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction]] have also infrequently used the rank.<ref name="opa">'''[[Halo: Spartan Strike]]''</ref> | ||
== | == Description == | ||
Minors | Minors are the lowest rank in the [[Covenant military]] ranking system for the Unggoy, essentially being little more than cannon fodder. Bearing [[methane tank|orange methane breathers]] and [[Unggoy combat harness|light-armored harness]], the [[Sangheili]] and [[Jiralhanae]] often send them into battle with little or no remorse. Minors exhibit various combat behaviors when their commander is killed; the most common combat behavior being to simply retreat and seek cover, or arming themselves with plasma grenades and attempting to perform a [[suicide attack]] by charging towards the enemy. | ||
After the [[Human-Covenant War]], the rank of Minor continued to be used in [[Merg Vol's Covenant faction]] and large numbers of these Unggoy fought on behalf of the group during the [[Battle of Draetheus V]] in 2554. [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction]] uses the equivalent rank of [[Unggoy Storm]]. They are given a different combat harness, although they perform mostly the same tasks. However, [[Battle of Installation 03|during one engagement]], Jul 'Mdama has used the rank. | |||
==Equipment== | ==Equipment== | ||
Unggoy Minors | Unggoy Minors are sent into combat with very little in the way of equipment. Minors wear a simple [[Unggoy combat harness|combat harness]] with either a pyramidal or a more smooth, less pointed methane tank. Minors are usually equipped with a [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|plasma pistol]], but they sometimes use [[Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher|Needler]]s and very rarely [[Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon|fuel rod gun]]s. Minors are also sometimes given several [[Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade|plasma grenade]]s. | ||
== Gameplay == | |||
They are one of the most common enemies, rivaled only by the [[Flood]] [[Flood infection forms|infection forms]]. However, on higher difficulties, such as [[Heroic]] and [[Legendary]], they became somewhat uncommon, mostly replaced with [[Unggoy Major]]s and [[Unggoy Ultra|Ultras]]. They are much easier to kill than higher ranking enemies and are easily taken down with a headshot. They are also far more likely to flee combat when they are being shot at or when their [[Sangheili]] commander has been killed. | |||
==Trivia== | |||
*Unggoy Minors are the most common unit encountered by the player in every ''Halo'' game in any difficulty. | |||
*Minor Grunts usually do not throw [[Type-1 plasma grenade|plasma grenades]], but when they do, they sometimes throw them at point-blank range and accidentally kill themselves instead of the player. This is true and becomes much more dangerous when the [[Catch]] skull is activated. | |||
