Male Yonhet are hairless with milky-pale skin, deep-set eyes with sagging skin beneath, and drooping mouths lined with short, sharp teeth. While Yonhet appeared to be humanoid species, they were among the more unapproachable and misunderstood. Some Yonhet were sold into slavery by Kig-Yar. Others were not as fortunate as some avaricious warlords instead oppressed and enslaved them. Taking advantage of the chaos and confusion of the Treaty period, fledgling warlords of Covenant remnants turned to the Yonhet to take advantage of their natural skills, giving some Yonhet individuals trusted roles. 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. 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. The Yonhet were added to the Covenant fringe, a collection of species that provided various strategic and infrastructure-related advantages to the Covenant, but were militarily and politically insignificant.
The Covenant did not doubt the Yonhet's loyalty due to their devout acceptance of the "Great Journey", although there was an element of cynicism to their adherence to the Covenant faith. 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.

With a relatively small population, there was little value in drafting the Yonhet as full signatories to the Covenant Empire.

Those who are fans of the “Halo” game series will probably want to check out “Nightfall” if they haven’t already but for anyone else, there isn’t much here to recommend.When the Yonhet first came into contact with the Covenant, they were viewed as militarily insignificant. I would love to see something in the future akin to the most recent “Battlestar Gallactica” series. I also expected something a bit more unique. “Nightfall” moves along pretty quickly, but biggest issue is that the characters are not very interesting. To make matters worse, the teams begin to turn on each other, knowing that only a few of them will come out alive at the end. They only have a matter of hours before the Halo Ring reaches upwards of 800 degrees thanks to sun. With their ship in ruins after a crash and a deadly alien presence that is attracted to their power, the solders must complete their mission without the use of the tech. They must head to a deserted Halo Ring and destroy it in order to save those back home.
Not having an X-Box, I had to actually wait for the Blu-Ray release.Īfter an alien biological attack, Agent Locke and his team of ONI soldiers (Office of Naval Intelligence) team up with Commander Randall Aiken and his soldiers for a very important mission. I am a fan of 2012’s “Halo 4: Forward unto Dawn” Blu-Ray and have actually been looking forward to “Nightfall”. “Nightfall” consists of several micro-episodes which when put together form a 98 minute movie.
Arriving this week on Blu-Ray is Microsoft Studios’ “Halo: Nightfall”, an X-Box Live exclusive series that was produced by Ridley Scott.
