Minors are the least experienced Jiralhanae serving in the military, and as such they rate the weakest armor and shields and typically possess the least endurance. Around the time of the [[Battle of Reach]], Minors were equipped with blue helmets and minimal, non-powered armor. When the Jiralhanae became the dominant military force of the Covenant during the events of the [[Great Schism]], Minors were given heavier cyan [[Jiralhanae power armor]], but still lacked the shoulder pads, knee pads, and ankle armor of the higher ranks.
Minors are the least experienced Jiralhanae serving in the military, and as such they rate the weakest armor and shields and typically possess the least endurance. Around the time of the [[Battle of Reach]], some Minors were equipped with blue helmets and minimal, non-powered armor. Another armor configuration that was used by Minors, particularly those serving under the Chieftain Tartarus, was composed of an ammunition bandolier, upper arm braces, and metal held between the toes by leather wrapping.
 
This configuration was also sporadically equipped with a small helmet which covered the top of the head and extended over the face, but left the sides and back exposed, unlike the wrapparound helmet used by the Jiralhanae Minor contingents at Reach. This unshielded armor set was also distinct from its Reach counterpart in the fact that the user was otherwise naked, while the Minors deployed to Reach wore a set of shorts in addition to their armor. When the Jiralhanae became the dominant military force of the Covenant during the events of the [[Great Schism]], Minors were given heavier cyan [[Jiralhanae power armor]], but still lacked the shoulder pads, knee pads, and ankle armor of the higher ranks.
