'''Chur'R-Yar''' was the [[Kig-Yar]] [[Shipmaster|Shipmistress]] of the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] missionary vessel ''[[Minor Transgression]]'', and as such is unique in being one of the very few and the first female [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] characters mentioned in the Halo Universe.
'''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's ancestors were pirates, sailing the oceans of the Kig-Yar homeworld [[Eayn]], battling rival clans and claiming slaves and territory. In this regard, she hoped to mimic them, with space serving as the new ocean. 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>'''Halo: Contact Harvest'''</ref>

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's motives for taking a share of the apparent relics was because she wanted her ship to be out of commission for the whole Kig-Yar mating season.
*Chur'R-Yar 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.
*It's possible that "Chur 'R" is a word which designates a Kig-Yar Shipmaster, as there are two Shipmistresses with the prefix ([[Chur'R-Mut|Chur 'R-Mut]]), and Kig-Yar names are always monosyllabic.
