Lance (Earth-5875)

A lance is a standard unit of the Covenant Armada, which was later passed to the Covenant's splinter factions.

Organization
Under the Covenant Armada, lances were groups consisting of low-ranking and low-caste soldiers, led by officers. Lances are smaller than files, often organized with low-ranking unggoy, kig-yar, and yanme'e under the command of low-ranking sangheili or jiralhanae warriors, being equivalent to a human fireteam.
