Kig-Yar society is matriarchal, with males described as being “henpecked” by their females and having to toil for a living.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 60''</ref> Early Kig-Yar society was a form of tyrannical matriarchy. Eayn's government would eventually spread power more widely and equally among the species, though females generally remained at the top. Before the Kig-Yar's indoctrination into the Covenant, female Kig-Yar were in control of breeding rights, territory, familial organization, and control of major assets. The matriarchal-based society continued after the collapse of the Covenant empire.<ref name="waypointuniverse"/> The expectations of young male chicks are lower than their female counterparts. Kig-Yar females typically hop from mate to mate, however, males generally stay around their mate's nests for as long as they are tolerated.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 243''</ref> T'vaoans believe themselves to be superior over the rest of the Kig-Yar.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 272''</ref> | Kig-Yar society is matriarchal, with males described as being “henpecked” by their females and having to toil for a living.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 60''</ref> Early Kig-Yar society was a form of tyrannical matriarchy.

Kig-Yar have been known to coexist relatively peacefully with humans, as evidenced by the relationship between [[the Rubble]] and [[Reth]]'s forces on [[Metisette]], the cooperation of Kig-Yar miners on [[New Llanelli]] with [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] operatives,<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 113''</ref> and their relationship with [[Insurrectionist]]s on [[Venezia]].<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 319''</ref> When the Kig-Yar were finally ordered by the San'Shyuum to attack and destroy the humans of the Rubble, many of them even regretted the order. This is likely due to the pragmatic, mercantile culture of their race: As long as it benefits them economically, Kig-Yar will co-operate with nearly any group, even declared enemies of the Covenant. | Kig-Yar have been known to coexist relatively peacefully with humans, as evidenced by the relationship between [[the Rubble]] and [[Reth]]'s forces on [[Metisette]], the cooperation of Kig-Yar miners on [[New Llanelli]] with [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] operatives,<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 113''</ref> and their relationship with [[Insurrectionist]]s on [[Venezia]].<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 319''</ref> When the Kig-Yar were finally ordered by the San'Shyuum to attack and destroy the humans of the Rubble, many of them even regretted the order.
