'''Commando''' was a shock troop role in the [[Covenant military|armed forces]] of the [[Covenant]] empire. The role was typically held by [[Kig-Yar]] soldiers, especially those of [[T'vaoan]] origin.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=241|Quote=T'vaoans, in particular, were utilized in distinctive shock troop roles, such as commando, murmillo, and champion.}} | |||

==Overview== | |||
===Role and responsibilities=== | |||
During the empire's reign, Commandos formed an elite part of the [[Skirmisher]] contingent that were deployed by the Covenant. Commandos were specifically trained and designed to form specialized combat [[file]]s and infantry hunter-killer units. They operate in discrete close-knit groups with extremely specific mission parameters. Other members of the Covenant military recognized Commandos on the battlefield for their incredibly proficient unit cohesion.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc11|Enc11|Page=157}} | |||
It is unclear whether the Kig-Yar Commandos have any relation to the [[Commando Unit]] commissioned by the [[Sangheili]] in the Covenant's later years, or whether these units operated within the [[Special Warfare Group]] or [[Covenant Special Operations]]. | |||
===History=== | |||
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/Reuse|Enc11}} | |||
==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/Reuse|Enc11}} 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, {{Pattern|Gadulo|needle rifle}}s, and [[M'tara-pattern focus rifle|focus rifles]].{{Ref/Game|Id=gameplay|HR|[[Skirmisher Commando]] in-game unit}} | |||
