User:XW3 AR3 L3GION/Kig-Yar War Clans

The Kig-Yar War Clan is a military unit hired by the Neo-Covenant Empire. Consisting entirely of males, the War Clan is a flashback to the Kig-Yar's pirate heritage. When a Kig-Yar male becomes of age, he joins a military organisation called the Clan Directorate which has a catalogue of every War Clan. The Clan Directorate can then look for any openings among the existing War Clans, due to injuries and deaths, or with a new War Clan that has just been created.

The War Clans can take different roles but it is mainly separated into two distinct branches: Privateers and advanced infantry. The Privateers are normally Kig-Yar Clans who own a or several space worthy vessels and pirate UNSC and Sangheili trade routes or escort the Neo-Covenant merchant convoys. They sometimes board civilian ships

The size of the War Clans isn't limited, the Black Talon is the largest War Clan with over 200,000 Kig-Yar members strong but the Talon is a pirating War Clan. Large War Clans will simply create smaller Sub-Clans out of their numbers and hire them out to the Neo-Covenant. The White Feathers actually creates a Sub-Clan from young Kig-Yar recently joining the Clan Directorate but hires them out as a veteran War Clan as the Neo-Covenant will pay more for veteran mercenaries.
