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 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> It is possible that this agreement was not entirely mutual: 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> | The humans chose the former [[Precursor]] world [[Charum Hakkor]] as the capital of their empire.

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. | After the [[Flood]] emerged into the galaxy, both humans and San'Shyuum were the first species to be affected.

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. | During their [[Human-Flood war|conflict with the Flood]], however, humans became desperate and forcibly colonized worlds where the Forerunners had relocated other species.

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. | 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 name="c113"/> | ||
