'''Minor''' is a rank held by [[Yanme'e]] serving in the [[Covenant military]] | '''Minor''' is a rank held by [[Yanme'e]] serving in the [[Covenant military]] and its [[Covenant remnants]]; including [[Merg Vol's Covenant]].{{Ref/Game|Id=HSA|HSA}} For fully-grown, non-[[Yanme'e Pupa|pupal]] Yanme'e, Minor is the lowest rank attainable. | ||
== | ==Overview== | ||
Yanme'e | For Yanme'e serving in the Covenant, Minor is considered the lowest of any caste. Originally, Yanme'e were employed by the Covenant as engineers and technicians. However, most in this role were eventually replaced by the [[Huragok]], and the Yanme'e began being deployed into combat roles.{{Ref/Book|ENC|Page=121}} They are commanded by [[Yanme'e Major|Majors]] and [[Yanme'e Ultra|Ultras]]. | ||
Age seems to be some factor in determining the rank of Yanme'e; Minors tend not to have any head protrusions unlike their older brethren.{{Ref/Game|HR|Yanme'e Minor in-game model}} | |||

Yanme'e Minors are distinguished by their green | Yanme'e Minors are distinguished by their light green exoskeletons, and like all Yanme'e are equipped with [[gravitics|anti-gravity technology]] that is attached to their wings that allow them to fly freely.{{Ref/Book|ENC|Page=158}} | ||
Generally, most Yanme'e Minors are armed with [[Type-25 plasma pistol]]s. However, some are found with [[Type-33 Needler]]s, or rarely, the [[Type-25 plasma rifle]].{{Ref/Game|H3}}{{Ref/Game|H3ODST}}{{Ref/Game|HR}} The Yanme'e serving under [[Merg Vol]], are typically only equipped with plasma pistols.{{Ref/Reuse|HSA}} | |||

Yanme'e Minors can be taken down easily with an [[M7/Caseless Submachine Gun|M7 SMG]], [[MA5 series|Assault Rifle]], [[Battle rifle]], [[M392 DMR]], Needler or Plasma Rifle. Super-combining needles will cause an explosion large enough to take out most, if not the all, of the Yanme'e in the group. However, as the ''Halo 2 Official Strategy Guide'' points out, they can be deadly in conjunction with [[Unggoy]], [[Kig-Yar]], [[Sangheili]], and [[Jiralhanae]]. | Yanme'e Minors can be taken down easily with an [[M7/Caseless Submachine Gun|M7 SMG]], [[MA5 series|Assault Rifle]], [[Battle rifle]], [[M392 DMR]], Needler or Plasma Rifle.

==Production notes== | |||
The Yanme'e encountered in ''[[Halo 3]]'' are split into Minor and Major ranks. However, outside of this name difference, the Majors exhibit no different behaviour from their Minor cousins, inheriting the exact same AI, model, textures, colouration and statistics. | |||
