Kig-Yar Freebooter

Freebooters are Kig-Yar infantry units hired in service of the Banished.

Overview
Freebooters perform the same role in the Banished as Kig-Yar Minors did in the Covenant, serving as basic infantry, scouts, and guards. Typically, a Jiralhanae or Sangheili officer will lead a squad of Freebooters.

History
Numerous Kig-Yar Freebooters fought for the Banished on Zeta Halo during the Battle for Zeta Halo.

Weapons and equipment
Freebooters are equipped with either purple or blue armour and the Kig-Yar's signature handheld shields. They are usually armed with plasma pistols and Needlers.
