Skirmisher Major

Major is a rank held by many Kig-Yar T'vaoans in the Covenant military.

Description
Once a Skirmisher Minor gains enough experience, it is promoted to the rank of Major. They are moderately stronger and more durable than Minors. Majors are often deployed because of their speed, with some squads being tracked at running forty-five miles per hour in open environments. They are often seen leading low-ranking Kig-Yar and Unggoy. The Majors with the highest combat-rating are selected to become Skirmisher Murmillones.

Equipment
Skirmisher Majors are distinguished by their red armor and red-patterned feathers. Majors lack the protective helmets and point-defense gauntlets used by higher-ranking Skirmishers. Majors are typically armed with plasma pistols, needlers, needle rifles, and focus rifles.
