Following their arrival at the [[Etran Harborage]] on February 21, [[2531#February|2531]], the [[Fleet of Glorious Interdiction]] deployed ground forces onto the surface of the [[shield world]]. A number of Jiralhanae Jumpers, along with several [[Type-25 Chopper|Choppers]] and other infantry, set up a defensive position near the location where the [[UNSC Spirit of Fire|UNSC ''Spirit of Fire'']] was deploying several [[M312 Elephant|Elephant]] reconnaissance teams.

The combined UNSC attack soon resulted in the elimination of the Jumpers, along with their support.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''', campaign level ''[[Anders' Signal]]''</ref> | Jiralhanae Jumpers served as part of the [[Covenant|Covenant's]] vast [[Covenant military|military]] during its [[Human-Covenant War|genocidal campaign]] against the [[human]] race.
