'''Irukan''' is the [[Kig-Yar]] [[Kig-Yar language|name]] of a [[Sangheili]] grain normally grown by the Kig-Yar. The plant on which the grain grows is characterized by yellow-green leaves and spikey white seed heads.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''Chapter 8''</ref>
'''Irukan''' is the [[Kig-Yar]] [[Kig-Yar language|name]] of a [[Sangheili]] grain normally grown by the Kig-Yar.  


In early [[2553]], the [[UNSC]]'s [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] began to grow irukan on the research facility [[Trevelyan]] in order to create a bioweapon against the Sangheili. The grain was to be genetically modified in an effort to make it indigestible to Sangheili. The Irukan grown would have been used to starve [[Sanghelios]]' population if ONI's [[Kilo-Five|plan of internal dissent]] failed.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 387''</ref> Trevelyan facility's director, [[Irena Magnusson|Dr. Magnusson]], noted that the genetically modified irukan would completely overwhelm the native strain in less than three years.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 369''</ref> In order to expedite the growth of the irukan crops, ONI asked the [[Huragok]] to create accelerating [[slipspace bubble]]s in which [[Timelock|time elapsed faster than in normal space]].<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 205''</ref>
