'''Freebooters''' are [[Kig-Yar]] infantry units hired in service of the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Book|Id=enc22|Enc22|Page=432}}
==Overview==
===Roles and responsibilities===
Freebooters perform the same role in the Banished as [[Kig-Yar Minor]]s did in the Covenant, serving as basic infantry, scouts, and guards. Typically, they are under the command of a [[Jiralhanae]] or [[Sangheili]], who incorporate freebooters at key locations and within specific strike groups to take full advantage of their raptorial traits. Notably, freebooters may also provide security at Banished outposts or be deployed for scouting operations, wherein they rely on their keen sight and smell to hunt down and neutralize targets.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}}


'''Freebooters''' are [[Kig-Yar]] infantry units hired in service of the [[Banished]].
===Organization===
 
Freebooters are the most basic—as well as the lowest—rank for the Kig-Yar in the Banished, employed under a standard contract for military service with monetary compensation. Freebooters can advance to the status of [[Kig-Yar Raider|raider]] once they have proven their ability in combat; though, many refrain from this progression, desiring instead to maintain the lowest possible risk-to-reward ratio.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}}
