The Yanme'e were one of the first species to make contact with [[humanity]], on the human colony of [[Harvest]] in [[2525|February 2525]].

After the [[Hierarchs]] declared war on humanity, Yanme'e were used as military combatants against UNSC forces. They were deployed during many major conflicts, including the [[Fall of Reach]]. During the [[Battle of Meridian]], five or six Yanme'e were deployed by an {{Class|SDV|heavy corvette}} to finish off the survivors of a boat it had fired upon. [[Dorian Nguyen]] was able to kill one by slamming it with a guitar, crumpling its wings and sending the Yanme'e into the sea. Dorian managed to escape, but the Yanme'e slaughtered the hundreds of other people on the boat, including Dorian's friends and bandmates.<ref>'''[[Halo: Battle Born]]''', ''Chapter 4''</ref>
