Chur'R-Ren was a Kig-Yar Shipmistress who rose to prominence in the aftermath of the Human-Covenant War. Like many other commanders following the Covenant's defeat at Earth, Ren deserted to seek personal power and turned pirate, but set herself apart through a shrewd combination of force, betrayal, and diplomacy. Rising to the command of a merchant armada, she eventually held enough power to make herself a political force, but again defied the model of other successful warlords by opening negotiations with the Swords of Sangheilios and UEG. In doing so, she gave up the unrestricted power of a tyrant to secure the allegiance of two factions she gauged would rebuild in time to become the most powerful, effectively laying the foundations of a stable and recognized Kig-Yar nation.
