'''Minor''' was the lowest rank bestowed upon [[Unggoy]] in the [[Covenant]]'s [[Covenant military|military]] and the fighting forces of a select number of of the empire's [[Covenant remnants|remnants]].<ref> '''Halo Encyclopedia''', pages 142-143 </ref><ref> '''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', page 87 </ref> These post-Covenant factions in which minors served included those led by [[Merg Vol]] and [[Jul 'Mdama]].<ref name="opa">'''[[Halo: Spartan Strike]]''</ref>

Minors were considered the lowest-ranking of Unggoy in the Covenant's war machine for many years. Minors saw action in a myriad of theaters during the decades-long [[Human-Covenant War]], during which time they would typically be treated as expendable cannon fodder. In the conflict's final year, minors fought in during the [[Fall of Reach]], the [[Battle of Installation 04]], the [[Battle for Earth]], the [[Battle of Installation 05]], and the [[Battle of Installation 00]]. When the [[Great Schism]] broke out, minors found themselves falling on a number of different sides of fighting, often in accordance with the wishes of their superiors at the time. After the war's conclusion, large numbers of Unggoy minors fought on behalf of Merg Vol's Covenant during the [[Battle of Draetheus V]] in [[2554]]. Although minors were not prevalent in [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]], they were noticeably present for the [[Battle of Installation 03]] in [[2557]].

Unggoy Minors were usually sent into combat with very little in the way of equipment. They wore simple, orange-colored [[Unggoy combat harness|combat harness]]es with either a pyramidal or a more smooth, less pointed [[methane tank]]. Minors were often equipped with [[Type-25 plasma pistol]]s or [[Type-33 needler]]s, but on occasion they were given [[Type-33 fuel rod gun]]s. It was also not uncommon for an Unggoy minor to carry [[Type-1 plasma grenade]]s.
