==History==
There are at least five series of JOTUNs farming equipment and at least one prototype model.  
During the [[First Battle of Harvest]], Harvest's agricultural operations AI, [[Mack]], used JOTUN cropdusters to knock down a {{Pattern|Dextro Xur|Spirit}} in [[Utgard]]. After the human survivors escaped the planet, Mack transferred himself into the thousands of JOTUNs operating on the planet. As the [[Covenant]] [[Glassing|glassed]] Harvest, Mack used the JOTUN machines to relay messages to the colony's shipping operations AI, [[Sif]], when both of their data arrays had been destroyed. His messages were later recorded in [[ONI Colonial Security Estimate 2525.10.110]].
 
In [[2556]], Jotun Heavy Industries was "Flagged for Review" by [[ONI]] after the [[Terrorist attack on Sedra City|Sedra terrorist attack]].<ref name="Halo Nightfall">'''[[Halo: Nightfall: ONI: Walk the Path|ONI: Walk the Path]]'''</ref>

===Prototypes===
===Prototypes===
One of the prototypes was on a [[UNSC Department of Commercial Shipping|DCS]] [[freighter]], ''[[This End Up]]'', commanded by [[Henry Gibson|Henry "Hank" Gibson]], who was killed in the resulting fight with the Covenant. When the Covenant attacked the vessel, the [[Huragok]] [[Lighter Than Some]] saw the prototype and later built a new vehicle type based on it as a peace offering for humanity. However, the [[Jiralhanae]] of the ''[[Rapid Conversion]]'' appropriated the Huragok's creation as a combat vehicle and it became the template for what would be later known as the [[Brute Chopper]].

The machine Gibson was carrying was a massive machine designed to till wide swaths of earth. It has six massive wheels and a large beam with spikes on the front to carry around the earth.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The name JOTUN is a phrase from Norse mythology, meaning "giant", fitting with the many Norse references on Harvest. In-universe, this is merely coincidental, as the firm itself is not based on Harvest.
*During the First Battle of Harvest, Harvest's agricultural operations AI, Mack, transfered himself into the thousands of JOTUNs on the planet. As the Covenant glassed Harvest, Mack used the JOTUN machines to relay messages to the colony's shipping operations AI, Sif, when both of their data arrays had been destroyed.

*In ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', Jotun's company logo can be seen on multiple buildings in [[New Mombasa]], suggesting that they had a branch in the city.
