-A '''Lance''' is the second smallest known organization of [[Covenant]] military units, with a [[File (Unit)|File]] being the smallest known group.
+A '''lance''' is an organizational unit of the [[Covenant]] [[Covenant military|military]],<ref name="sg">[[Archive:Spartan Games - Kenneth Peters interview]]</ref> and later its various [[Covenant remnants|remnant factions]].
-===Standard===
+==Organization==
-[[Image:Covie Lance2.jpg|thumb|A standard Lance, preparing to combat [[Marine]]s]]
+===Overview===
-A Lance is usually commanded by a [[Minor Elite]] or a [[Minor Brute]]. <ref>[[Halo 2]], [[Cairo Station (Level)|Cairo Station]]</ref> The Lance also contains a File of four [[Minor Grunts]] and one [[Major Grunt|Major]]. Sometimes a [[Major Elite]] or [[Brute]] will oversee the command of three Lances into a battle.
+Under the [[Covenant]]'s [[Covenant military|military]], a lance was a grouping of low-ranking or low-caste warriors, led by an officer.{{Ref/Reuse|sg}}
+===Composition===
+A lance was smaller in size than a [[File (unit)|file]],<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-buzz-generating '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Buzz Generating'']</ref> while [[Levy|levies]] of low-ranking [[Unggoy]] may be organized into combat lances under the command of a [[Sangheili]].<ref name="srsb">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/community-update-summer-red-summer-blue '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Community Update - Summer Red, Summer Blue'']</ref> A lance is roughly the equivalent of a [[fireteam]] in terms of composition;<ref name="infinity">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-infinity-beyond '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Infinity & Beyond'']</ref> lances have occasionally been described as analogous to [[squad]]s,{{Ref/Reuse|srsb}} though a file serves as a better comparison to a squad than a lance does.{{Ref/Reuse|infinity}}
 ==Variations==
-[[Image:Jackals.jpg|thumb|150px|right|A portion of a [[Kig-Yar]] Lance.]]
+===Brute lance===
-There are other variations of the Lance, including those of the [[Kig-Yar]] and the [[Yanme'e]] species.
+This lance comprises of [[Jiralhanae]].<ref>[https://www.megaconstrux.com/en-gb/worlds/halo/playsets/covenant-brute-lance-dpj89 '''Mega Construx''', Halo, '''Covenant Brute Lance''']</ref>
+===Demi-lance===
+A '''demi-lance''' is a type of lance, dissimilar to a standard combat lance in terms of composition; a group of two [[Zealot]]s led by a [[Sangheili Field Marshal|Field Marshal]] could constitute a demi-lance.{{Ref/Reuse|sg}}
+===Science lance===
+A [[science lance]] was a variation of a lance formed to recover and examine captured technology. A science lance was deployed to [[Damascus Materials Testing Facility]] on [[Chi Ceti IV]] in [[2525]], following the [[Battle of Chi Ceti]].<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''', ''[[Halo Wars Timeline Events|Timeline Events]]''</ref>
+===Storm lance===
+This lance comprises of storm units.<ref>[https://www.megaconstrux.com/en-us/worlds/halo/playsets/covenant-storm-lance-dlb96 '''Mega Construx''', Halo, '''Covenant Covenant Storm Lance''']</ref>
-===Kig-Yar===
+==Notable Lances==
-A lance of Kig-Yar usually consists and comprises of a group of four to six simple infantry Jackals, with one or two of them being [[Major Jackal|Majors]] and the rest being [[Minor Jackals|Minors]]. Jackal lances are sometimes led by an [[Elite]] commander, though this is not always the case. <ref>[[Halo: Combat Evolved]], [[The Silent Cartographer (Level)|The Silent Cartographer]]</ref>

-===Yanme'e===
+==Gallery==
-A lance of Yanme'e is usually nothing more than a swarm of around a dozen or so soldiers. As they are very mobile and constantly airborne, Drone lances need not to be commanded by a [[Sangheili]]. To [[Humans]], no commander can be distinguished within them. <ref>[[Halo 2]], [[Outskirts (Level)|Outskirts]]</ref>
