In [[2200 BCE]], [[San'Shyuum Schism|a war broke out]] between the [[Stoics]] and the [[Reformists]], two factions of San'Shyuum who held opposing views about what should be done with Forerunner relics. The Reformists, viewing technological advancement as the true answer, stole the [[Forerunner]] [[Anodyne Spirit|Dreadnought]] in 2100 BCE, taking with it a small fragment of their homeworld and all of the Reformists aboard. After this schism the two factions stayed apart for more than a thousand years.

Due to the small population of San'Shyuum aboard the Dreadnought, though, the Reformists quickly realized that their population could risk inbreeding. Numerous restrictions on breeding were thereby made, including the [[Roll of Celibates]], in order to extend genetic diversity within their population. These measures helped but ultimately only slowed their eventual gene pool stagnation. The San'Shyuum of ''High Charity'' gradually grew weaker and less fit, hunching over, growing thinner, and making less effort to stand without the aid of [[antigravity belt]]s and [[gravity throne]]s.
