The Kig-Yar Rangers are a specialized group of Kig-Yar in the Covenant Covenant military.
Background
Role
Rangers are trained as zero-gravity combat units and wear vacuum suits. They were sometimes used to assist the Sangheili Rangers. They do not usually wear jetpacks and instead are equipped with surface-adhering boots, possibly magnetic, which allow them to walk safely in zero-gravity environments.
Operational deployments
The first known contact between Kig-Yar Rangers and humans occurred on board This End Up, a freighter attacked by Minor Transgression in 2525. Following this encounter, they were deployed in combat from as early as 2531 until at least the Fall of Reach in late summer 2552.
Appearance
Kig-Yar Rangers are sometimes clad in blue space suits, carrying point defense gauntlets and plasma pistols like their regular infantry counterparts. [1] Others wear a different suit with orange chest armor plate and purple clawed boots. They have no obvious helmets, instead being replaced by some type of energy bubble which produces oxygen for the Kig-Yar to breathe. Also, they wield a different kind of weapon that is strapped to the wrists of the Kig-Yar and also have no shields.[2]
