Kig-yar are around the same level as the [[Unggoy]] in the Covenant hierarchy, although the Kig-yar despise the Unggoy and believe themselves to be superior. This reached a boiling point in [[2462]], when some Kig-yar in High Charity attempted to poison recreational narcotics the Unggoy enjoyed, which would have left the Unggoy sterile, in retaliation for the Unggoy encroaching on their habitats and displacing Kig-yar nests. Although a [[Prophet of Truth|junior staffer]] in the [[Ministry of Concert]] found evidence of this, the [[High Council]] failed to properly investigate the incident, culminating in the [[Unggoy Rebellion]].

A Kig-yar [[Missionary Ship]], the [[''Minor Transgression'']], was the first Covenant vessel to make contact with Humanity.

Following the outbreak of the [[Human-Covenant War]], a group of Kig-yar under [[Reth]] made contact with [[the Rubble]], a community of human survivors of the [[glassing]] of [[Madrigal]]. The Kig-yar agreed to trade Covenant weaponry in exchange for [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|slipspace drives]]. Although the humans believed the Kig-yar were defying Covenant authority, they were in fact secretly proceeding with the blessing of the [[Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth]] to use the weapons to map [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] space and learn the location of [[Earth]]. The plan fell apart during due to the [[Prophet of Regret|High Prophet of Regret]] sending [[Sangheili]] warriors to investigate the weapons, believing the Kig-yar to be heretics.
