== | ==Description== | ||
Commandos wear green armor and a helmet. Occasionally in combat, they will utilize [[Type-27 hologram|hologram]]s of themselves in order to fool their enemies in attacking it instead of them. | Skirmisher Commandos are apart of the [[T'vaoan]] Skirmisher contingent that are deployed by the [[Covenant]]. Commandos are specifically trained and designed to form specialized combat [[file]]s and infantry hunter-killer units. Commandos operate in discrete close-knit groups with extremely specific mission parameters. Other members of the [[Covenant military]] recognize Commandos on the battlefield for their incredibly proficient unit cohesion. | ||
The first Commandos were selectively picked from sectarian societies from the [[asteroid]]s that orbit [[Chu'ot]]. The Kig-Yar on these asteroids were sustained by [[Wikipedia:grey market|gray market]] trade and developed free from the government that dominated the Kig-Yar homeworld of [[Eayn]]. They were employed by the original [[Kig-Yar]] government's militia to fight off recurring looting and [[piracy]] that was common on the asteroids and other Kig-Yar colonies in an extremely ruthless and precise fashion. When the [[Covenant]] first arrived in the [[Y'Deio]] system, the Commandos joined forces with the pirates in an attempt to fend off the intruders.<ref name="HE157"/> | |||
==Equipment== | |||
Commandos generally wield the same weaponry and have the same armor ratings as lower-ranking [[Skirmisher Murmillo|Murmillones]]. Commandos wear olive-green armor and a helmet.<ref name="HE157"/> Commandos are not equipped with [[energy shield]]s. Occasionally in combat, they will utilize [[Type-27 hologram|hologram]]s of themselves in order to fool their enemies in attacking it instead of them. Commandos are typically armed with [[plasma pistol]]s, [[needler]]s, [[needle rifle]]s, and [[Type-52 focus rifle|focus rifles]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', ''gameplay''</ref> | |||
