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. 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. One of these teams, lead by Sergeant [[John Forge]], soon engaged the Covenant position. Soon after, [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[Red Team]] dropped in behind the Covenant forces. 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.

During the [[Battle of Mombasa|Battle of]] [[Mombasa]] on [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]], following the departure of the [[Prophet of Regret]] from the city, [[Jiralhanae]]-led Covenant reinforcements sent by the [[Prophet of Truth]] arrived to assume control of the battle. A group of Jiralhanae Jumpers was deployed onto the roof of [[ONI Alpha Site]] as part of the Covenant attack on the facility. However, a group of [[New Mombasa Police Department|NMPD]] officers—along with the [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]] [[Taylor Miles]] and [[Michael Crespo]]—arrived on the rooftop via elevator after setting [[M168 Demolition Charge|explosive charges]] throughout the base to deny the Covenant access to information pertaining to the [[Portal at Voi|Portal]] buried beneath the city. The Jumpers fought against the human forces, killing the remaining NMPD personnel before they were all slain by the ODSTs.<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level ''[[ONI Alpha Site (level)|ONI Alpha Site]]''</ref> Several more were deployed onto the rooftop of the [[NMPD headquarters]] but were wiped out by ODSTs [[Edward Buck]] and [[Kojo Agu]] as they made their way through the upper levels of the facility in order to rendezvous with the rest of their [[Alpha-Nine|squad]], whose [[D77C-NMPD Pelican|Pelican]] had been shot down by [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]]. Using an array of heavy weaponry, Alpha-Nine furiously defended the Pelican crash site from waves of attacking Banshees and [[Type-52 Phantom|Phantoms]]. One Phantom attempted to deploy a force of Jumpers onto the rooftop, but they were promptly slain by the superior firepower of the ODSTs.<ref name="nmpdhq">'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level ''[[NMPD HQ]]''</ref> | During the [[Battle of Mombasa|Battle of]] [[Mombasa]] on [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]], following the departure of the [[Prophet of Regret]] from the city, [[Jiralhanae]]-led Covenant reinforcements sent by the [[Prophet of Truth]] arrived to assume control of the battle.

By nightfall on October 20, [[New Mombasa]] had been completely overrun by Covenant forces, with virtually no human resistance left. [[The Rookie]], a lone ODST thought dead by the rest of his squad, awoke from his [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|drop pod]], which had crash-landed into a building in the [[Mbaraki]] district of the city, knocking him unconscious six hours prior. While searching for clues as to the whereabouts of his squadmates, he encountered various Covenant patrols in the darkened streets of the city, including many Jumpers. After receiving a distress call from Captain [[Veronica Dare]], the Rookie was forced to fight through a large group of Covenant infantry, including Jumpers and a [[Jiralhanae War Chieftain|War Chieftain]] in order to find the entrance to the city's [[New Mombasa Data Center|data center]].<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level ''[[Mombasa Streets]]''</ref> Shortly after [[Yanme'e]] in the data center raised the alarm in response to the human intruders, a squad of Jiralhanae Jumpers arrived to stop the humans. However, due to [[Energy shielding#personal shielding|energy shielding]] provided by the defecting [[Huragok]] [[Quick to Adjust]], the ODSTs were able to wipe out the Jumpers easily.<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level ''[[Data Hive]]''</ref> | By nightfall on October 20, [[New Mombasa]] had been completely overrun by Covenant forces, with virtually no human resistance left.
