'''Chur'R-Yar''' was the [[Kig-Yar]] [[Shipmaster|Shipmistress]] of the [[Covenant]] [[missionary ship|missionary vessel]] ''[[Minor Transgression]]'' in [[2525]].
==Biography==
Chur'R-Yar was pivotally involved in the Covenant's [[First Battle of Harvest|first contact]] with [[humanity]]. Commanding her ship on the very fringes of Covenant territory, she ordered the raid of two human [[DCS light freighter|freighter]]s in the [[Epsilon Indi system]] with the aid of the [[Deacon]] [[Dadab]], before locating [[Harvest|a planet]] with supposed [[Forerunner]] relics. She intended to steal a number of these relics for herself before she could report it to the Covenant, betraying the Deacon as well, evidently because she wanted her ship to be out of commission for the whole Kig-Yar mating season. She had chosen the Kig-Yar [[Zhar (Kig-Yar)|Zhar]] as her mate, based around his physical traits and long, angular spikes that no other male had.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 94''</ref>
However, before she could enact her plan, [[Skirmish on Minor Transgression|she was shot]] by [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Avery Johnson]] after the ''Minor Transgression'' boarded a third freighter, bait for a trap laid by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]]. Before dying, she detonated her own ship in an unsuccessful, suicidal attempt to kill her attacker.<ref name="ch134">'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 134''</ref>


==Personality and traits==
'''Chur'R-Yar''' is the [[Kig-yar]] [[Shipmaster|Shipmistress]] of the [[Covenant]] missionary vessel ''[[Minor Transgression]]''. <ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''</ref> She had light yellow skin and ruby-red eyes. She discovered the planet [[Harvest]] and found many relics. She attempted to keep some of the supposed relics for herself and disabled the Luminary and threatened the [[Unggoy]] [[Dadab]] to keep quiet. She was severely wounded by Sergeant Johnson when he and Byrne investigated the captured freighter ''This End Up''. She died when she blew up a methane tank, attempting to kill Johnson. ''[[Minor Transgression]]'' was also destroyed by the explosion.  
Chur'R-Yar's ancestors were [[piracy|pirates]], sailing the oceans of the Kig-Yar homeworld [[Eayn]], battling rival clans and claiming [[Slavery|slaves]] and territory. In this regard, she hoped to mimic them, with space serving as the new "ocean".<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 93''</ref> Like the other three Kig-Yar aboard the ship, she disrespected [[Dadab]] and was often annoyed by his presence.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 56''</ref> She also hoped to retire with the profit from the stolen relics and raise a family of young Kig-Yar. She was killed before she could reach her aspirations.{{Ref/Reuse|ch134}} However, she proved to be very determined, fighting until the last and nearly taking down [[Avery Johnson]] with her.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
Chur'R-Yar was the first female Covenant character mentioned in the Halo universe.
*Chur'R-Yar is a prominent character as she is the first female [[Covenant]] character ''ever'' mentioned in the [[Halo]] universe. However, she is not the only female Covenant character as the [[Prophetess of Obligation]] is clearly another female Covenant character.
*Chur'R-Yar is the only [[Kig-Yar]] ever known to have a name more than one syllable long.
*It is unknown ''why'' the Hierarchs would appoint such a pirate for missionary missions outside Covenant space, Chur'R-Yar's latter plans involved plundering [[Harvest|
the Human world]] of all its resources, neglecting the presence of [[Forerunner]] riches.
*Chur'R-Yar motives for taking a share of the apparent relics is because she wants her ship to be out of commision for the whole Kig-Yar mating season.
*Apparently Chur'R-Yar choose Zealot Zhar as her mate, based around his physical traits
