A lance of [[Kig-yar]] usually consists and comprises of a group of four to six Kig-yar infantry, with one or two of them being [[Kig-yar Major|Majors]] and the rest being [[Kig-yar Minor|Minors]]. Kig-yar lances are sometimes led by a Sangheili or a Jiralhanae, though this is not always the case.<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''', campaign level ''[[The Silent Cartographer]]''</ref> | |||

A lance of Yanme'e is usually nothing more than a swarm of around a dozen or so soldiers. As they are very mobile and constantly airborne, [[Yanme'e]] lances don't need to be commanded by a Sangheili. They are commonly commanded by one or more majors. | |||

A Jiralhanae pack is usually led by [[Jiralhanae Captain]] or [[Jiralhanae Captain Major|Captain Major]]. A pack is the Jiralhanae counterpart of the Sangheili lance, which was replaced by the pack system after the [[Great Schism|Elites left the Covenant]]. | ||

Formed to recover and examine captured technology, science lances were dispatched by the [[Prophet of Regret]] in [[2525]] to the [[Damascus Testing Facility]] to study captured technology, although the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR Armor]] had already been recovered by the [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II]] supersoldiers.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''', Timeline</ref> | |||
