938 BCE

In 938 B.C.E. the San 'Shyuum first encounter the Sangheili on Sangheilios who, like the Stoics, believe that Forerunner relics were to be worshipped, not modified. This ideological difference results in the Sangheili-San 'Shyuum War, in which the Sangheili have a distinct advantage in infantry combat due to superior numbers and qualities of troops, but in space combat the San 'Shyuum have a great advantage because of the Keyship.
