Kig-Yar Raiders are Kig-Yar mercenaries that serve the Banished.

Overview

Like the Kig-Yar Heavy soldiers that served in the various Covenant remnants factions, Kig-Yar Raiders wear full body armor and helmets, usually red-silver, and are equipped with stronger orange handheld energy shields. Although typically armed with Type-54 plasma pistols, Raiders can wield Disruptors and Manglers.^[1]

Numerous Kig-Yar Raiders participated in the Installation 07 conflict, serving as infantry, scouts, and guards for the Banished. The Jiralhanae Warlord Tremonius was accompanied by two Kig-Yar Raiders when he confronted John-117 beneath Outpost Tremonius.^[2]
