Doisac
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Doisac is the name of the Jiralhanae homeworld. It possesses three natural satellites, named Warial, Solrapt, and Teash, and is the third planet of the Oth Sonin system.[1]
Description
From limited details available about Doisac, it can be estimated that its environment is very Earth-like, with forests and oceans. It has been noted, however, that its terrain is dominated by magma and magnetism, hinting at high tectonic activity and rich magnetized iron deposits likely caused by the lunar tidal effects projected by its three moons. It is possible that Doisac is closer to Oth Sonin than Earth is to 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 natural greenhouse effect, trapping heat and warming up the planet in a similar fashion to Venus.[1]
History
Doisac is a very war-torn land due to constant Jiralhanae civil warfare, typically between clans. In their wars amongst clans, they used nuclear weapons, reducing their culture back to its primal state before the discovery of space travel. When discovered by the Covenant, the Brutes were just starting to re-discover radio and flight. During the final months of the Human-Covenant War, it is more than likely that Doisac was a spot for battles between the Covenant Loyalists and Separatists.[2]
The statement that Doisac is a "Native Tier 4" refers to the Technological Achievement Tiers. The Jiralhanae had worked their way up to this level before a devastating civil war brought the Tier level down until they were integrated into the Covenant with Tier 2 (Interstellar) technology level.[1]
Trivia
The environments and structures of Doisac that are depicted in Halo Legends appear almost identical to the planet Kashyyyk from the Star Wars franchise.
