Commanding her ship on the very fringes of Covenant territory, she ordered the raid of two human freighters 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 killed 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 attempt to kill her killer.

Trivia
- Chur'R-Yar, is a prominent character, as she is the first female Covenant character ever mentioned in the Halo Universe; however, she is not the only female Covenant character as the Prophetess of Obligation is clearly another female Covenant character.
- Chur'R-Yar is the only Kig-Yar ever known to have a name more than one syllable long. The "Chur'R" segment may have been adopted upon becoming a Shipmistress.
- Chur'R-Yar motives for taking a share of the apparent relics is because she wants her ship to be out of commission for the whole Kig-Yar mating season.
- Apparently Chur'R-Yar, had chosen the Jackal Zealot Zhar as her mate, based around his physical traits and long, angular spikes no other Male has.
