'''Minor''' is a rank held by [[Yanme'e]] serving in the [[Covenant military]]. Minor is the lowest rank attainable in the Yanme'e ranking system. Some Yanme'e Minors served in [[Merg Vol's Covenant faction]] during the [[Battle of Draetheus V]].<ref name="HSA">'''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]'''</ref> | |||
==Description== | |||
Yanme'e Minors are the lowest in the [[Yanme'e]] caste. Originally, the assignment for Yanme'e Minors was relating to engineering and technological work. However, most were replaced by the [[Huragok]] and more began to be deployed in combat roles.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 121''</ref> They seem equal, if not even inferior in rank, to the [[Unggoy Minor]]s, placing them at the very bottom of the [[Covenant]] hierarchy. Although they may fight alongside [[Sangheili]] and [[Jiralhanae]], even a [[Kig-Yar Minor]] is allowed to command them, as well as [[Yanme'e Major]]s and occasionally [[Unggoy Major]]s.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]'''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo 3]]'''</ref><ref name="reach">'''[[Halo: Reach]]'''</ref> | |||

However, some Minors have yellow, blue, or even silver exoskeletons, which can cause observers to confuse them with [[Yanme'e Ultra]]s.<ref name="ODST">'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'''</ref> Minors are equipped with anti-gravity technology that is attached to their wings that allow them to fly freely.<ref>'''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''page 158''</ref> Generally, most Yanme'e Minors are armed with [[Type-25 plasma pistol]]s.

Usually found equipped with Plasma Pistols, Needlers, and rarely Plasma Rifles, Yanme'e Minors are very low in rank but, like Unggoy, are quite a threat in big groups. They are also fairly good shots, especially on [[Legendary]] and [[Heroic]]. Most of the time, Yanme'e Minors appear in large swarms and can be quite dangerous. Yanme'e Minors, while powerful in swarms, are weak individually. They can be taken down easily and often make tactical errors such as flying into an enemy's line of sight or getting in the path of their ally's shot. Yanme'e Minors also land on the ground occasionally, making them extremely vulnerable to melee attacks. | Usually found equipped with Plasma Pistols, Needlers, and rarely Plasma Rifles, Yanme'e Minors are very low in rank but, like Unggoy, are quite a threat in big groups.

Yanme'e Minors can be taken down easily with an [[M7 SMG]], [[Assault Rifle]], [[Battle | Yanme'e Minors can be taken down easily with an [[M7/Caseless Submachine Gun|M7 SMG]], [[MA5 series|Assault Rifle]], [[Battle rifle]], [[M392 DMR]], Needler or Plasma Rifle. Super-combining needles will cause an explosion large enough to take out most, if not the all, of the Yanme'e in the group. However, as the ''Halo 2 Official Strategy Guide'' points out, they can be deadly in conjunction with [[Unggoy]], [[Kig-Yar]], [[Sangheili]], and [[Jiralhanae]]. | ||
