After the Covenant's [[Battle of Installation 00|disastrous defeat]] at [[Installation 00|the Ark]], Jiralhanae society began to splinter.<ref name="wp jiralhanae"/> Many Jiralhanae refused to cease their campaigning against the [[Sangheili]] and the two species remained locked in an [[Sangheili-Jiralhanae war|irregular conflict]] for [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|years to come]]. Some Jiralhanae served [[Tem'Bhetek's faction|Tem'Bhetek and Boru'a'Neem]] in a [[Attack on Rahnelo|genocidal]] [[Ambush at Duraan|plot]] against the Sangheili that was [[Battle of the Prototype Halo installation|ultimately foiled]]. When the remaining [[San'Shyuum]] retreated into hiding, the Jiralhanae returned to their primitive, savage nature, allowing the Sangheili to gain the upper hand in battle. [[Unidentified Shipmaster (Righteous Vigilance)|A Sangheili shipmaster]] visiting [[Kholo]] in [[2559]] noted that at least some Jiralhanae factions had separated from those loyal to the former Covenant and were waging an internecine war against each other and thus the Brutes, like their Elite counterparts, were fighting in a two-front war.<ref name="ret">'''[[Halo: Evolutions]]''', ''[[The Return]]''</ref> This lack of solidarity made the Jiralhanae easier prey for some of the Sangheili commanders who were genocidally hunting them.<ref name="The Return">''[[The Return#Motion Comic|The Return (Motion comic)]]'' ''"This lack of solidarity made them much easier prey.

On Doisac, the Jiralhanae continued to fight among themselves as the organization imposed on their species by the Covenant fell apart. Additionally, due to the Jiralhanae's lack of advanced technology, they were unable to attain resources or even food for themselves, instead resorting to raids on Sangheili settlements. Notably the [[Rh'tol|Rh’tol Jiralhanae]] glorified these raids as power over their oppressors.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Envoy1|Halo: Envoy|Chapter=3 "The Rh’tol skein now gloried in the piracy against the former Covenant. It let them show their true strength to the very face of the Sangheili species that had so poorly treated them. The Vheiloth skein saw such looting and destruction as an unfortunate necessity."}} This, in turn, only served to provoke further violence between the two species.<ref name="esc1"/> As the Sangheili-Jiralhanae conflict continued to escalate, one exceptional [[master-pack]] sought peace. On [[2558#March|March 5, 2558]], the Jiralhanae Chieftain [[Lydus]] represented a [[Lydus' clan|polity]] of Jiralhanae who were willing to begin peace talks with the [[Swords of Sanghelios]], mediated by the [[United Nations Space Command]] on [[Ealen IV]].<ref name="esc1"/> However, initial peace talks were foiled by a [[Vata 'Gajat's mercenary group|mercenary group]] hired by the human [[Insurrectionist]]s known as the [[New Colonial Alliance]].<ref name="esc3">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 3|Issue #3]]''</ref> | |||
