Major is an Unggoy rank of the Covenant Loyalists [1][2][3].
Background
Role
Unggoy Majors are higher than rank than Minors and are slightly more powerful than their lesser counterparts in terms of strength and leadership. They often lead Minors in battle, and sometimes entire Lances when no higher caste species are present. However, even these higher-ranked Unggoy hold no power over any other forces in Covenant society.
Description
They wear red-colored armor contary to the orange armor of Minors and are more courageous as well, often staying to fight under conditions that would make their lesser brethren flee. If all their commanders, Sangheili or Jiralhanae, are killed, they will sometimes stand and fight. However, they still aren't very courageous and can often be observed fleeing along with Minor Grunts, but more likely to go suicidal than the minors. They usually fight alongside a combined team of other Unggoy and Kig-yar, and have command over lower ranked Kig-Yar and Unggoy. Grunt Majors are the first enemy to wield the hand-held Fuel Rod Gun in the Halo series. They attacked the player with these deadly weapons after the player had destroyed the first pulse generator in the Halo: Combat Evolved level, Two Betrayals.
Deployment
During combat, Majors are usually the first one to jump out of the Dropship. They are known to combine their forces in battle often the Majors will pair up and fight together with numerous subordinate Unggoy and even Kig-yar or Yanme'e soldiers.
