In early [[2553]], the [[UNSC]]'s [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] began to grow irukan on the research facility [[Trevelyan]] in order to create a bioweapon against the Sangheili. The grain was to be genetically modified in an effort to make it indigestible to Sangheili.

While held captive on Trevelyan, [[Jul 'Mdama]] requested irukan after he informed Dr. Magnusson that human grain did not agree with his digestion.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 62''</ref> | While held captive on Trevelyan, [[Jul 'Mdama]] requested irukan after he informed Dr. Magnusson that human grain did not agree with his digestion.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 62''</ref> | ||
