[[File:Doisac2.jpg|thumb|250px|Doisac]] | |||
Doisac is a tropical world, where volcanic activity is common. At least half of Doisac's surface is covered in rain forests, while the other half is largely composed of molten rock, lava, and large volcanoes. Doisac has a very harsh environment, yet it is still preferred by many Jiralhanae.{{Ref/Reuse|ENC309}} The rocky, forested planet also contains large amounts of deserts, and a few seas of water.<ref>''Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe'', p. 143</ref> | |||
Its environment is very [[Earth]]-like, with forests and oceans, although its gravity is twice that of Earth. It has been noted, however, that its terrain is dominated by magma and magnetism, hinting at high tectonic activity and rich magnetized iron deposits. It is possible that Doisac is closer to Oth Sonin than Earth is to [[Sol system|Sol]] because its surface temperature/climate is slightly more tropical, ranging from -15°C to 52°C (5°F to 125.6°F). Alternatively, its atmosphere may cause a greenhouse effect, either due to the actions of the Jiralhanae or naturally, trapping heat and warming up the planet in a similar fashion to [[Venus]].{{Ref/Reuse|Bestiarum}} | |||
[[ | The planet is orbited by three [[natural satellite]]s; [[Soirapt]], [[Warial]], and [[Teash]]. The latter two have some form of Jiralhanae settlements on them.<ref>''Halo: Evolutions'', Stomping on the Heels of a Fuss</ref> | ||

Doisac was visited by the [[Forerunner]]s during the [[Lifeworker]]s' [[Conservation Measure]]. The Jiralhanae were one of many sentient species indexed by the [[Librarian]] for preservation aboard [[Installation 00]].

Doisac was a very war-torn land due to constant Jiralhanae civil warfare, typically between [[clan]]s. Despite their savagery, Jiralhanae proved intelligent enough to achieve [[Technological Achievement Tiers|spaceflight and space-faring status]]. However, their warlike nature inevitably led them into conflict, and eventually the various Jiralhanae [[master-pack]]s fell into a massive war known as the [[First Immolation]]. The planet became heavily damaged from the use of [[nuclear weapon]]s and almost led to the extinction of the Jiralhanae.{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}} | Doisac was a very war-torn land due to constant Jiralhanae civil warfare, typically between [[clan]]s.

Although most Jiralhanae returned to Doisac after the war,{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}} many also continued to inhabit the worlds the Covenant had previously given them; however, due to their lack of advanced technology and their disorganized society, they were unable to obtain resources or even food for themselves resulting in famine, and instead resorted to raids on Sangheili colonies.<ref name="Escalation">''[[Halo: Escalation]]'', [[Halo: Escalation Issue 1|Issue #1]]</ref> The [[Vheiloth|Vheiloth Jiralhanae]] saw the raids as a necessity, while the [[Rh'tol|Rh'tol Jiralhanae]] glorified their piracy as power over the Sangheili for oppressing them.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Envoy1|Halo: Envoy|Chapter=3 "The Rh’tol skein now gloried in the piracy against the former Covenant.

poorly treated them. The Vheiloth skein saw such looting and destruction as an unfortunate necessity."}} | |||

The Jiralhanae on Doisac lacked a strong leader to stabilize them since the Covenant's fall,<ref>''[[Halo Wars 2]]'', [[Phoenix Log]]: Rise of Atriox IV</ref> with the various infighting master packs putting them at a disadvantage in their ongoing conflicts against the Sangheili.{{Template:Ref/Film|Id=The Return|[[The Return#Motion comic|The Return (Motion comic)]]}} One of the planet's governing master packs, [[Lydus' clan]], was willing to attempt peace negotiations with the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] mediated by the [[UNSC]] on [[Ealen IV]] until they were interrupted by a [[Vata 'Gajat's mercenary group|mercenary]] [[Battle of Ealen IV|attack]]. The peace negotiations were left at a standstill.{{Ref/Reuse|Escalation}} | |||

By [[2558]], [[Atriox]] had become a symbol for some Jiralhanae on Doisac to rally behind with some joining his [[Banished]].<ref>''Halo Wars 2'', Phoenix Log: Rise of Atriox VI</ref> Despite this, many Jiralhanae rejected joining due to their hatred of the Sangheili in the mercenary organization.<ref>[[Halo: Rise of Atriox Issue 5]] "Jiralhanae do not band with Sangheili and give themselves names."</ref> Working alongside Sangheili was frowned upon on the Jiralhanae homeworld.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Envoy2|Halo: Envoy|Chapter=3 |Quote=The Sangheili had lorded over the Jiralhanae in the Covenant for decades. They openly despised the Jiralhanae and had torn apart the Covenant in open war the very moment the Jiralhanae became favored by the Prophets. The Great Schism, as most Jiralhanae knew, had shown the truth of the Elite–Brute relationship—the Sangheili were arrogant and cruel slavers. For Hekabe to offer assistance to an Elite showed incredible vulnerability and poor character, as far as his opposition was concerned.}} In [[2559]], while the Sangheili and Jiralhanae continued to commit acts of genocide on each other and various Jiralhanae clans also carried on infighting,{{Ref/Reuse|The Return}} the [[Created]] had subdued Doisac along with other major planets across the [[Orion Arm]]. [[Cortana]] called for Atriox to submit to her enforcement of peace across the galaxy. Atriox defied her rule, to which she responded by destroying the planet with powerful beams fired by at least 8 [[Guardian Custode|Guardians]].{{Ref/Game|Halo Infinite}} Cracks began to form across the world until it eventually exploded.
