I saw this on Discovery Channel during some special or something, but I remember that, in a worldd with more gravity, flight would be easier because the air would be thicker, so that it was eaier to stay in the air.

Sorry to ask and feel like a noob but when are drones found in space i can't find a source anywhere? Can they fight in space and if so how do they move? [[User talk:RussellofSwinhart|RussellofSwinhart]] 00:11, 24 July 2012 (EDT)

== Discs ==
 
You know those discs on the drones backs ( look on thier backs, there are small blue discs). The current theory on the discs are shields. My theory is that they are anti- grav generators, which is why they are so weak and are familiar with anti-grav technology (see Instruction manual). Anyone have alternate theories on this?
 
 
: I Think that they are a natural thing made to confuse prey and predators to what side their head is on, many Earth Bugs have this feature. --[[User:Gzalzi|Gzalzi]] 14:18, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 
: I don't think their natural. But I do think they are anti_grav generators. Because if they werent they couldn't fly in space because there wings cant push off anything. The pods let them move.
 
Mayhaps it is a shield generator to provide a 'enviroment suit' without hampering their movement. However, I do like the manuevering thrusters idea better.
 
I think they are anti-grav generaters, becuase i have seen similar shapes on the bootom of Ghosts. PsychoThunder
 
I read a theory about the drones originating from one of Palamok's moons and then developing the technology to migrate to the actual planet. Those devises covering the drones exoskeleton could be anti-gravity generators originately built to help the drones survive on a planet with more gravity than their own. This theory also makes sense because the drones are flying insectoid creatures and Palamok has a very high gravity which would make flight somewhat difficult. It would make more sense if the drones originated from a planet with little gravity where flight would be achieved easily.([[User talk:Drone232|Drone232]] 13:19, October 30, 2009 (UTC))

:Creating those ranks would be introducing fanon. Present an official source (other than H3:ODST) which states that Drones have a ranking system. What LostJedi stated in "Difference of Ranks ingame(ODST)" makes sense due to the fact that these Drones are a collective hive... and that being the Queen.

::The colouring system is a lot more significant than Halo 3's colour variations on Sangheili ranks (ie. dark blue Minor Domo, light blue Minor Domo). It would appear that there are different ranks in the game. However, I believe that they are armour variations, rather than an exoskeleton. My evidence is the mysterious blue objects sticking out of their backs, which appear to be artificial in origin. The colours would explain an armour, as well. I'm not sure if the queen would be able to simply make different produce for different roles, with their variations being colour and strength... insectoid variations are usually based on Able to mate, unable to mate... where those who can't become workers and soldiers, while those who can grow wings and do a lot of mating, where the female grows a huge belly to carry the potentially hundreds of eggs.-- '''[[User:Forerunner|<font color="blue">Fore</font>]]''[[User talk:Forerunner|<font color="green">run</font>]]''[[Special:Contributions/Forerunner|<font color="red">ner</font>]]''' 01:52, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

::::I would like to point out that the above comment was to show that it is entirely possible/likely that these two ranks are only exclusive only to the Yanme'e species. Seeing that these Yanme'e are insectoid, and as such, follows an insect nature, it is more likely that they would go with the "Queen, Worker, Warrior" rank rather than having a complex military structure like the rest of the Covenant species. As you stated previously, they are a collective mind that responds only to the Queen, which I presume, is under control of the three High Prophets. With that said, it is unlikely that there is a special group of Yanme'e with ranks higher than a Major Yanme'e (which I consider to be the elder warrior when compared to the minor Yanme'e which is a younger warrior). It is likely that these odd colour variations we see in Halo 3: ODST are just maturity as pointed by LostJedi. Thus, I conclude that there is no such thing as a Yanme'e Ultra or a Yanme'e Stealth as it is completely absurd for Yanme'e to lead a lance of other Covenant species. Again, they are a collective mind, and as such, they follow the orders of the Queen. Ranks are nonsensical in the insect nature, the only exceptions are the [[Unmutuals]].- <font face="Century Gothic">[[User:Subtank|<font color="gold"><font color="#FF4F00">5</font>əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7</font>aŋk</font>]]<sup>([[User talk:Subtank|<font color="#FF4F00">7alk</font>]])</sup></font> 21:45, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

::::But can the worker/soldier class not be further subdivided? You bring up a valid point that these drones take orders from the Queen and do not need a rank structure in those regards. But would it be outside the realms of reason to think that there would be captains to oversee an operation and deliver a queen's wishes to the rest of the swarm. To delegate tasks among separate groups of subordinates? At any rate, I find it highly, HIGHLY unlikely that the Drones exoskeletons just happen to change to the full spectrum of visible light over the course of their lives. I still think that the most common sense theory is that the Covenant tried to instill their rank structure ON the drones. And not to lead a lance of other species, but to lead a lance of other Yanme'e. Unfortunately, these are all just theories that can't be proven. Perhaps a letter would be suitable?

:::::Please note that not all Covenant species have rank structures like the Jiralhanae/Sangheili/Unggoy. In my opinion, these ranks you mention applies only to the "main forces", which are the J/S/U. I believe that "support forces" such as Kig-yar, Mgalekgolo and Yanme'e would not require such complex rank structure as their main purpose is to support the main forces. This is supported with the lack of rank structure in both Kig-yar (Minor, Major, Marksman) and Mgalekgolo. Note that I didn't include the Kig-yar as Shipmistress/master as that is an entirely irrelevant rank to this issue.

|Logically, Drone Minors are the lowest of the Drone ranks. They are commanded by Drone Majors, Jackals, and Grunt Majors. They seem equal, if not even inferior in rank, to the Grunt Minors, placing them at the very bottom of the Covenant hierarchy. Usually found equipped with Plasma Pistols, Needlers, and rarely Plasma Rifles, Drone Minors, while powerful in swarms, are weak individually. They can be taken down fairly easily, and will often make tactical errors such as flying into an enemy's line of sight, or getting in the path of another Drone's shot.

[[User:Hellisuva|Hellisuva]] and I, have discussed the potential rank structure of the Yanme'e and we came to the conclusion that it would make more sense for them to have followed the same rank structure of the Brutes. These may not be the exact names of these ranks but they make them a lot easier to think about and also seems appropriate. The only problem we encountered was the ranking of the blue drone in Reach that when killed, is listed as a specialist unit therefore making it unlikely to be the same as the blue drone from ODST. If I receive positive feedback to this or any other suggestions I will create pages and links for each Drone rank.

Captain is also a speculated rank name. With such discontinuity in Drone ranks and lack of credible description, I kind of gave up trying to make sense of it all. But perhaps the Essential Visual Guide could shed some light? I don't own it. -[[User:TheLostJedi|'''<span style="color:maroon">TheLostJedi</span>''']] 10:40, 7 November 2011 (EST)

Yeah, I tried making sense of the ranks when the new ranks with ODST came out, lets just say it didn't work out.

What am i looking at? i edited that section because it had no source just lack what you are saying. The have no spine thus cannot be infected. They can be turned into Biomass like everything larger than a fungus but they can not be infected.[[User talk:Grey101|grey]] 08:21, 2 December 2011 (EST)Grey101

:What are you talking about? That is exactly what infection ''is''! As for lacking a spine, insects still have a neurological system, which is what the Flood uses - not the spine itself. As for cataloguing, the fact that they survived is all the evidence we need - why would the Librarian leave out one species? Even if (IF) they were immune to the Flood, the Halo Array would still kill them. -- [[User:Specops306|<b><font color=indigo>Specops306</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>Qur'a 'Morhek</sup></font></i></u>]] 06:07, 3 December 2011 (EST)

:: What if Palmolk is outside of the radius of the array? If it's not directly stated, is shoudn't be in the article without a conjecture tag, or followed by "(Presumbly)" or something. I see similiar statements without citations in the jackal artcile about their pre-covie history, and during their encounters.http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/9315/signxb.jpg 19:34, 5 November 2012 (EST)
 
== Latin name ==
 
In the source for the latin name, it says it translates to "Ugly king", not dishornable king. Can someone who knows more latin than me double check this, and the other names with the listed source? http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/9315/signxb.jpg 19:32, 5 November 2012 (EST)
 
:[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/turpis Turpis, in a figurative sense, means dishonorable], according to Wikitionary.

::Well, if we are going to interpret the intended translation as anything other than literally, then wouldn't it make more sense to go with the "unsightly/foul" definition? Them being giant flying roachs and all? http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/9315/signxb.jpg 21:18, 5 November 2012 (EST)

::::That doesn't address my point. If we aren't going to use the literal translation, we should use the one that is most likely the intended one, or the one that makes the most logical sense. In this case, "Vile", "Unsightly", or "Foul" makes a lot more sense than "Dishonorable".
