The Yanme'e, or Drones, are insect-like beings with wings.

Altough they have been part of the Covenant for some time, their have just recently been put to use as combatants. Their primary use within the Covenant was to help build starships since their favored enviroment seems to be in space.

Since the Drones prefer space as their favored environment, their wings are not as useful in planetary atmospheres. They can fly within atmospheres, but only for short periods of time before they have to rest their wings.

Drones prefer to stay at a distance and use long range tactics. However, they are skilled close-range combatants as well if the need arises.

Drones are insectoid in nature and seem to be covered in natural chitanous armor, altough it doesn't provide much protection. They wield light-weight weapons such as needlers and plasma pistols.
