===Ranks within the Banished=== | |||
Among the Banished, Kig-Yar are employed in a more overtly mercenary role. The lowest ranking Kig-Yar are known as [[Kig-Yar Freebooter|Freebooter]]s, and comprise the vast majority of those employed by the faction. The following rank is known as [[Kig-Yar Raider|Raider]], comprised of more ruthless and money-hungry Kig-Yar.{{Ref/Game|Id=HI|HI|campaign}} However, many Freeboters avoid promotion in order to be assigned to less dangerous missions, a hesitation that their commanders try to override with promises of wealth.{{Ref/Book|Id=enc22|Enc22|Page=432}} The Banished also employ the Sniper rank like the old Covenant, in the same roles.{{Ref/Reuse|HI}} In addition, the Banished restored the [[Skirmisher]] rank to its pre-Covenant role, with many Ruuthians in their lines taking up the traditional garb and proving to be as deadly as their T'vaoan cousins.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=433}} Still, the group also employs T'vaoans in this role.{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR16|SOR|Chapter=16}} | |||

Kig-Yar were also employed by the Covenant as prison guards to protect [[penal colony|penal colonies]], such as the one on [[Verge]].<ref>''[[Halo: Evolutions]]'', "[[Blunt Instruments]]", ''page 234''</ref> The Kig-Yar were often used as a police force in former Covenant colonies, although normally under the supervision of a representative from one of the races higher in the Covenant hierarchy.

Another rank among the Kig-Yar is that of [[Khordat]]. This, and its superior [[Arch Khordat]] designation, have an unclear meaning, although they seem to be associated with accomplished snipers.{{Ref/Game|Id=dossier|HINF|[[High Value Target]] dossier, Barroth}}{{Ref/Site|Id=CFFire|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-covering-fire|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Covering Fire|D=31|M=01|Y=2024}} | |||
