Kig-Yar

Excellent shots, the Jackals seem to be higher in status-if not necessarily rank-than the Grunts. They will often be found in defensive positions, fighting from behind their distinctive energy shields. A well used shield makes a Jackal a difficult target, but the notch they use to return fire provides a weak spot that can be exploited.
