Sangheili and Jiralhanae fleets were largely segregated, but this was not always the case.<ref>'''[[Halo Legends]]''', ''[[The Package]]''</ref> Believing that the Jiralhanae posed a threat to both the Sangheili and the Covenant, a union of Sangheili commanders convinced the Covenant [[High Council]] to impose restrictions on the technology used by the Jiralhanae. The number of Jiralhanae [[shipmaster]]s was limited and the weaponry on Jiralhanae ships was mostly disabled.<ref name="ch199"/><ref name="ENC142"/> Jiralhanae units are typically deployed in packs led by one or more Chieftains or Captains. They fill a similar role in combat to the Sangheili, as they are both typically command groups of lesser Covenant infantry. However, Jiralhanae are generally not equipped with energy shields, except for Captains and Chieftains, and all Jiralhanae post-Great Schism, and wield a slightly different arsenal of weaponry.

Jiralhanae troops often seem to be sent in after Sangheili have failed their task. Examples of this are the assault on the Forerunner artifact beneath [[SWORD Base]], in which Jiralhanae were sent in after waves upon waves of failed Sangheili troops.<ref name="ONI: SB">'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[ONI: Sword Base]]''</ref> This may allude to the Prophets attitude of Jiralhanae favoritism, something that would eventually lead to the replacement of Sangheili by Jiralhanae after the [[Prophet of Regret]] is killed by the [[John-117]].<ref name = "Regret">'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Regret (Level)|Regret]]''</ref>
