'''Chur'R-Yar''' was the [[Kig-yar]] [[Shipmaster|Shipmistress]] of the [[Covenant]] missionary vessel ''[[Minor Transgression]]'', and as such is unique in being one of the very few female [[Covenant]] characters mentioned in the Halo Universe so far, she is also the only known Ship Master that is not a [[Sangheili]] or [[Jiralhanae]]. Commanding her ship on the very fringes of Covenant territory, she ordered the raid of two [[Human]] [[freighter]]s before, with the aid of the [[Deacon]] [[Dadab]], locating a planet with supposed [[Forerunner]] relics. Intending to steal a number of these relics for herself before she could report it to the Covenant, betraying the Deacon as well, she was shot by [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Avery Johnson]] after the Minor Transgression boarded a third freighter, bait for a trap laid by the [[UNSC]]. Before dying, she detonated her own ship in an unsuccessful, suicidal attempt to kill her attacker.

Commanding her ship on the very fringes of Covenant territory, she ordered the raid of two human freighters in the Epsilon Indi system with the aid of the Deacon Dadab, before locating 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 as her mate, based around his physical traits and long, angular spikes that no other male had.[3]

However, before she could enact her plan, she was shot by Staff Sergeant Avery Johnson after the Minor Transgression boarded a third freighter, bait for a trap laid by the UNSC. Before dying, she detonated her own ship in an unsuccessful, suicidal attempt to kill her attacker.[2]

She was killed before she could reach her aspirations.[2] However, she proved to be very determined, fighting until the last and nearly taking down Avery Johnson with her.
