[[Doisac]] is the name of the Jiralhanae homeworld. It possesses three [[natural satellite]]s: [[Warial]], [[Soirapt]], and [[Teash]], and is the third planet of the [[Oth Sonin system]]. The gravity on the planet is approximately 2.1 G while the atmosphere is 1.3 atm. Surface temperature is between -15&nbsp;°C to 52&nbsp;°C (5&nbsp;°F to 125.6&nbsp;°F). The estimated population of the planet is approximately 12.5 billion. Its habitat is described as being dominated by magma and magnetism.{{Ref/Reuse|BES}} The Jiralhanae also maintained colonies on [[Warial]] and [[Teash]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions]]''', ''"[[Stomping on the Heels of a Fuss]]", pages 68 and 75''</ref>

The [[Covenant]] settled Jiralhanae on a number of worlds rich in resources, to guard them from anyone seeking to claim them for themselves. They were not provided the technologies necessary for the process by the Prophets and were unable to develop them on their own, thus ensuring the [[San'Shyuum]] had full control over the Covenant's resources. The Jiralhanae continued to inhabit these colonies after the [[Human-Covenant War]]. Their inability to acquire food and resources for themselves, combined with their savage nature, led them to pillaging the colonies of other species, mainly those of [[Sangheili]] and [[Kig-Yar]].{{Ref/Reuse|esc1}}{{Ref/Note|Id=warial|While Escalation claims the Jiralhanae have numerous colonies outside of the Oth Sonin system, Warial was described as "the furthest-flung of our colonies" by [[Ceretus]] in 2552. It is possible that he was referring to indigenously founded colonies, excluding those established by the Covenant, since he was proposing to hide from the Covenant at the time.}}
