==History==
==History==
During the [[First Battle of Harvest]], Harvest's agricultural operations AI, [[Mack]], used JOTUN cropdusters to knock down a {{Pattern|Dextro Xur|Spirit}} in [[Utgard]]. After the human survivors escaped the planet, Mack transferred himself into the thousands of JOTUNs operating on the planet. As the [[Covenant]] [[Glassing|glassed]] Harvest, Mack used the JOTUN machines to relay messages to the colony's shipping operations AI, [[Sif]], when both of their data arrays had been destroyed. His messages were later recorded in [[ONI Colonial Security Estimate 2525.10.110]].

===Prototypes===
===Prototypes===
One of the prototypes was on a [[UNSC Department of Commercial Shipping|DCS]] [[freighter]], ''[[This End Up]]'', commanded by [[Henry Gibson|Henry "Hank" Gibson]], who was killed in the resulting fight with the Covenant. When the Covenant attacked the vessel, the [[Huragok]] [[Lighter Than Some]] saw the prototype and later built a new vehicle type based on it as a peace offering for humanity. However, the [[Jiralhanae]] of the ''[[Rapid Conversion]]'' appropriated the Huragok's creation as a combat vehicle and it became the template for what would be later known as the [[Brute Chopper]].
