Template:Character Infobox Chur'R-Yar was the Kig-Yar Shipmistress of the Covenant missionary vessel Minor Transgression, and as such is unique in being one of the very few and the first female Covenant characters mentioned in the Halo Universe.
History
Commanding her ship on the very fringes of Covenant territory, she ordered the raid of two human freighters with the aid of the Deacon Dadab, before 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.
Chur'R-Yar's ancestors were pirates, sailing the oceans of the Kig-Yar homeworld Eayn, battling rival clans and claiming slaves and territory. In this regard, she hoped to mimic them, with space serving as the new ocean. She also hoped to retire with the profit from the stolen relics and raise a family of young Kig-yar. She was killed before she could reach her aspirations.[1]
Trivia
