Template:Ratings Template:New Content Template:Under Construction Template:Covenant Species Infobox The Jackal is a human nickname for an unnamed subspecies of Kig-Yar.
Description
The Jackal and Skirmisher are of the same species, with the larger, more heavily muscled specimens comprising grenadier-type units (Skirmishers) and the smaller, more lightly built specimens seeing deployment as dedicated ranger or sniper units (Jackals). This is a significant change from engagements prior to 2530 when mixed units were more common.[1]
