Yanme'e: Difference between revisions

Little is known for certain about Yanme'e intelligence because of a lack of information. The communication barrier the Drones have with other species has not helped, and it is possible that even the other races of the Covenant do not understand them very well. It ''is'' known that they are able to feel jealousy; as seen when they killed [[Engineer]] [[Lighter Than Some]] because he usurped their role as technician on ''[[Rapid Conversion]]''. In [[Halo: Evolutions]], Unmutual Yanme'e are seen to be capable of independent thought and strategic planning. In the level [[Crow's Nest (level)|Crow's Nest]], [[Thel 'Vadam]] can be seen trying to convince individual Drones (while fighting them) to reject the [[Prophet]]s' lies and rebel. The Halo 3 [[Campaign Scoring]] description of [[Drone Major]]s states that Drones are incapable of feeling fear. Numerous sources about the Drones, such as the ''[[Halo 3 Strategy Guide]]'' and their [http://www.bungie.net/projects/odst/guide.aspx|ODST Field Guide entry], emphasize their intelligence. On the whole, the Drones seem to lack individuality because of their hive lifestyle. Despite their intelligence, Drones' instincts and societal conditioning suppress creative thought and encourage total obedience to authority. No examples of Drone names have yet been discovered, which could be another sign of their lack of individuality.

The Yanme'e homeworld is Palamok, a planet much like Earth but twice the size with over twice the gravity (2.2G). Though such a high gravity may seem to be a hard burden on any creature, it actually helps them to achieve flight due to the higher pressures that may exist on such a world.
