Yanme'e Major

The Major is the highest Yanme'e rank.

Description
The Majors have yellow exoskeletons and blue spots shaped like eyes on their shells. A Major Drone has longer wings and can fly faster than Drone Minors. Major Drones are rarely seen on lower difficulties. The Drone Majors usually have Needlers as their weapons in the games. Due to the difference in mentality of drones compared to other species, it is possible that drone become major once they have reached a certain age by which point they will have a certain amount of experience meaning less experienced drone minors can follow them, rather than due to distinguished service or bravery as seen in other major creatures such as unggoy and kig-yar. This is similar to how older insects in sociable colonies take on different roles, such as from scout to guard.

Rank
Drone Majors are one step higher than the Minors. They still appear low in rank, about the same as a Minor Jackal. They are commanded by Jackal Majors, Brutes, and Specops Grunts. They are fairly common on higher difficulty levels, but on Easy and Normal they are rare. They will mostly come armed with Needlers.
