Template:Species Infobox The Yonhet are a humanoid species associated with the Covenant. They are part of what is commonly known as the Covenant fringe, a collection of various alien species that used to serve the Covenant's interests in various peripheral roles. Named after their home moon, Yonhe, they are known as traders and smugglers.[1]
History
The Covenant
In a unknown period of time, the Yonhet came in contact with the Covenant. They were viewed as militarily insignificant, and with a small population, there was little value in considering the Yonhet as full signatories to the Covenant empire. However, their talents and usefulness gave them flexibility and a high degree of tolerance within the Covenant.[1]
Human-Covenant war
Many Yonhet remained in hiding during the Human-Covenant War, 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.[1]
Post-war
In the first post-war years, the Yonhet began to emerge in hopes that the coast is clear enough to make a profit from the fleeting peacetime and political uncertainty. Taking advantage of the chaos and confusion of the Treaty period, fledgling Covenant warlords turned to the Yonhet to take advantage of their natural skill at "sniffing" out Forerunner relics, giving some Yonhet individuals trusted roles. Others were not as fortunate as some avaricious warlords instead oppressed and enslaved them.[1]
