The Halo 2 Collector’s edition guide would suggest so:
> The disgrace and blasphemy at Halo was an abomination caused by my incompetence and failure of judgement. Although the tales and rumors of the Demon have basis in fact, much of this talk is Unggoy superstition and exaggeration.
…
> As ever, Jiralhanar accounts of the conflict are unreliable and their accounts of this Human’s abilities and actions are absurd.
This is an extract from a letter from Thel ‘Vadamee to the Prophet Hierarchs after the destruction of Halo, just prior to his trial in Halo 2.

TIL Thel was racist towards Jiralhanae even before the...incident in 2.
I don't believe so. As I recall the fleet that was at Installation 04 was strictly manned by Sanghelli.
I don't think they even existed in any form for that matter. In universe they could just not be part of fleet there
