The role of skirmisher was created by the Kig-Yar long ago, seemingly even before the species even left [[Eayn]] to colonize other parts of their [[Y'Deio system|home system]]. After the [[Covenant]] discovered the Kig-Yar and grafted them into their empire, they kept the mantle of skirmisher as part of their [[Covenant military|military]]. During their time within the Covenant, most skirmishers would be [[T'vaoan]], a unique subspecies of Kig-Yar that settled and evolved on the asteroid known as [[T'vao]]. {{Ref/Reuse|CFLegendary}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | The role of skirmisher was created by the Kig-Yar long ago, seemingly even before the species even left [[Eayn]] to colonize other parts of their [[Y'Deio system|home system]].
