When the Yonhet first came into contact with the [[Covenant]], they were viewed as militarily insignificant. With a relatively small population, there was little value in drafting the Yonhet as full signatories to the Covenant empire. However, their skills at acquiring a large variety of items that were considered difficult to locate gave them flexibility and a high degree of tolerance within the Covenant. The Covenant did not doubt the Yonhet's loyalty due to their (feigned) devout acceptance of the [[Covenant religion|"Great Journey"]], although there was an element of cynicism to their adherence to the Covenant faith.{{Ref/Reuse|Axl}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | When the Yonhet first came into contact with the [[Covenant]], they were viewed as militarily insignificant.

The Yonhet were instead incorporated into the [[Covenant fringe]], a collection of species that provided various strategic and infrastructure-related advantages to the Covenant, but were militarily and politically insignificant.{{Ref/Reuse|Axl}} They were generally employed to salvage abandoned worlds, transport recovered [[Forerunner]] relics and clear derelict shrines under the vigilant eye of Covenant-appointed administrators. | The Yonhet were instead incorporated into the [[Covenant fringe]], a collection of species that provided various strategic and infrastructure-related advantages to the Covenant, but were militarily and politically insignificant.{{Ref/Reuse|Axl}} They were generally employed to salvage abandoned worlds, transport recovered [[Forerunner]] relics and clear derelict shrines under the vigilant eye of Covenant-appointed administrators.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Yonhet convoys en route to [[High Charity]] were frequent targets of heretic [[Piracy|pirate]] attacks. Then-[[Shipmaster]] [[Arkad Nar 'Kulul|Arkad 'Kulul]] was one of the Covenant officials involved in quelling such attacks, resulting in his promotion to the station of [[Fleetmaster]] of the [[Fleet of Recalcitrant Ire]]. The fleet were later involved in the administration and oversight of Covenant Fringe species.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFFire|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-covering-fire|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Covering Fire|D=31|M=01|Y=2024}} | ||
The Yonhet were not permitted to serve in the [[Covenant military]], due to a belief they held little value as warriors - meaning they were a relatively rare sight closer to the [[Human colonies|front lines]] of the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Throughout most of the war, many Yonhet remained in hiding both because they felt it was a fight that was not theirs, and the growing scale of the conflict had made exploration and trade much too dangerous and difficult for them.{{Ref/Reuse|Axl}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} With the Covenant attention on [[human]]ity, the Yonhet instead began to quietly disperse and escape the clutches of the empire - though its [[Great Schism|collapse]] in [[2552]] saw them begin to take a more active role in the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|post-war]] galaxy.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | |||
With the Covenant's demise as the end of the war, the Yonhet began to emerge in hopes that the coast was clear enough to make a profit from the fleeting peacetime and political uncertainty. Taking advantage of the chaos and confusion of the Treaty period, they have since began to have a myriad of varied interactions with the [[Covenant remnants|remnant factions]] of the former-empire. Some of the fledgling warlords have turned to the Yonhet to take advantage of their natural skills, giving some Yonhet individuals trusted roles. Others were not as fortunate as some avaricious warlords instead oppressed and enslaved them.{{Ref/Reuse|Axl}} Some Yonhet were sold into [[slavery]] by [[Kig-Yar]].{{Ref/Comic|HEsc|Issue=11}} | With the Covenant's demise as the end of the war, the Yonhet began to emerge in hopes that the coast was clear enough to make a profit from the fleeting peacetime and political uncertainty.
