Prior to the civil war, the [[Jiralhanae]] had become a [[Technological Achievement Tiers#Tier 4: Space Age|technological Tier 4]] species. However, the Jiralhanae's various [[master-pack]]s began a widespread mechanized war of attrition throughout [[Doisac]] due to their war-like nature.<ref name="ch194">'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 194''</ref> The war was started by the powerful [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain]] [[Rukt]].<ref name="waypointarticle">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/fist-of-rukt '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Fist of Rukt'']</ref> While the Jiralhanae are divided into numerous amounts of of [[pack]]-like [[clan]]s, almost all of the clans were divided into two different skeins: the [[Rh'tol]] or the [[Vheiloth]]. Chieftain [[Maccabeus]] and his [[Maccabeus' clan|clan]] were a part of the more primitive Rh'tol skein. Each skein was fuelled by their pursuit of power and control. Eventually, the Rh'tol and the Vheiloth skeins collided when a long-term engagement over a territorial dispute took a sudden and violent turn. The civil war lasted for a decade as the Jiralhanae set their homeworld ablaze in conflict and nearly caused their species' own extinction.
