The '''Yanme<nowiki>'</nowiki>e''' are a race of aerial warriors which make up part of the unified conglomerate races of the Covenant, more popularly known as '''Drones''', the name the Humans refer to them as. They are informally referred to by infantry as "buggers". Although they have been part of the [[Covenant]] for some time, they have just recently been put to use as combatants in the war against the humans. In the ''[[Halo 2]]'': Collectors Edition instruction manual it is said they are suited to flight and combat in a gravitational-pull like Earth. This possibly means their home world is like our own. | The '''Yanme<nowiki>'</nowiki>e''' are a race of aerial warriors which make up part of the unified conglomerate races of the Covenant, more popularly known as '''Drones''', the name the Humans refer to them as.

If you look carefully at a dead Drone, you can see small round technological/metal objects on its armor, assumed by some to be small shield generators employed to make up for the Drones' obvious weakness. It seems like other Covenant species, Drones share a ranking system in colored armor, but it is unclear who is leader. They do not interact with other species except to trade and serve in a military capacity<ref>halo3.com - Species Bio.</ref>, and their exact position in the Covenant Hierarchy is relatively unkown, although it is reasonable to believe they are of higher rank than Grunts and of lower rank than Elites. | ||

On Easy, Normal and a lot of Heroic, the Drones are easy to kill and present no real threat. However, on legendary, they can be an extremely deadly enemy to face. Their ability to fly means that if you have cover, they can still fly over and around you, and due to the reason they fight in packs, they can outnumber and kill you. | On Easy, Normal and a lot of Heroic, the Drones are easy to kill and present no real threat.
