A '''military alliance''' existed between the [[human]] and [[San'Shyuum]] species before and during the time of the [[human-Forerunner wars]].<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 111''</ref> The alliance ended once the [[Forerunner]]s destroyed the [[Prehistoric human civilization|human civilization]],<ref name="c127">'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 127''</ref> restricting the rights of both members, making sure that neither would be able to join forces again.<ref name="c134">'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 134''</ref>

==History==
The humans, who already at this point possessed a vast interstellar empire, formed an alliance pact with the San'Shyuum race, hoping to take advantage of the species' highly-advanced technology.<ref name="c113">'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 113''</ref> The alliance also came about due to both species' mutual disdain for the [[Forerunner]]s and their rule over the galaxy. The two species bonds deepened and eventually the they coinhabited worlds and treaded political and cultural centers along the galactic periphery.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P26|Enc22|Page=26}} During the final years of the Forerunner-Flood War, the [[Librarian]] suggested that the humans had "subjugated" the San'Shyuum to further their own agenda, as they had done with several other species.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''page 32''</ref>

The humans chose the former [[Precursor]] world [[Charum Hakkor]] as the capital of their empire. There they would imprison an unknown creature they had discovered in a [[stasis capsule]] on a distant planet. Both humans and San'Shyuum attempted inquiring this being, known as the [[Primordial]], on various subjects, but received no useful responses. They later reinforced its cage with a [[time bolt]].<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 120-121''</ref><ref name="c267">'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 267-272''</ref>

After the [[Flood]] emerged into the galaxy, both humans and San'Shyuum were the first species to be affected. Unaware of its true nature, both species used a primitive form of the Flood to alter the behavior of the [[Pheru]], animals popular as pets among humans and San'Shyuum. Over several centuries, the Pheru began to exhibit signs of Flood infection, which soon spread to both humans and San'Shyuum. Humans discovered a way to fight the parasite, and sacrificing a third of their population, managed to drive it off the galaxy.{{Ref/Reuse|c267}}

During their [[Human-Flood war|conflict with the Flood]], however, humans became desperate and forcibly colonized worlds where the Forerunners had relocated other species. This resulted in a [[Human-Forerunner wars|war between the alliance and the Forerunners]]. Even with their advanced technology, humanity and the San'Shyuum were outmatched against the Forerunners.{{Ref/Reuse|c267}} The humans refused to surrender and had their entire civilization dismantled and the last of their species exiled to their homeworld [[Earth|Erde-Tyrene]] as a result.{{Ref/Reuse|c127}} However, the San'Shyuum were more cooperative, and their punishment was less severe; they were stripped of their weapons and means of interstellar travel, and [[Quarantine shield|quarantined]] to their [[San'Shyuum home system|home system]]. This was to make sure that neither species would be able to join forces again.{{Ref/Reuse|c134}}

Even without the war's effects, the Forerunners predicted that the alliance would crumble after a few centuries, based on their view of humans as a xenophobic race.{{Ref/Reuse|c113}}
