Yanme'e Majors are differentiated from lower ranks by their crimson shells and energy shields. They have longer wings and can fly faster than [[Drone Minor]]s. They are first introduced in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]], ''which has several levels which involve extensive fights with Yanme'e. They usually have [[Needlers]] as their weapons in the games.<ref name="ODST">'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level, ''[[Data Hive (Level)|Data Hive]]''</ref> | |||
Due to the difference in mentality of Drones compared to other species, it is possible that Drones become a Major once they have reached a certain age by which point they will have a certain amount of experience, meaning less experienced Drones 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. | Due to the difference in mentality of Drones compared to other species, it is possible that Drones become a Major once they have reached a certain age by which point they will have a certain amount of experience, meaning less experienced Drones can follow them, rather than due to distinguished service or bravery as seen in other major creatures such as [[Unggoy]] and [[Kig-Yar]].

Drone Majors are one step higher than the Minor Drones. They still appear low in rank, about the same as a [[Jackal Minor]]. They are most often seen commanded by [[Jackal Major]]s, [[Brute]]s, and even [[Special Operations Grunt]]s. They are fairly common on higher difficulty levels | Drone Majors are one step higher than the Minor Drones. They still appear low in rank, about the same as a [[Jackal Minor]].
