:I almost wonder whether, with their new Sangheili footsoldiers at their disposal and the combined resources and territory that came with the merger, Janjur Qom was the first target of the Covenant's military conquest. We know that the Forerunners had the capacity to destroy a star, along with the planets that orbited it, and they ''do'' have a Forerunner dreadnought that's been stripped of its weapons by the start of the Covenant, those weapons had to go somewhere. The Prophets themselves may have destroyed their homeworld, when invasion didn't work. -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 21:04, 11 December 2014 (EST) | :I almost wonder whether, with their new Sangheili footsoldiers at their disposal and the combined resources and territory that came with the merger, Janjur Qom was the first target of the Covenant's military conquest.

::I doubt that. The Reformist San'Shyuum must have known they were doomed in the long run as High Charity's population couldn't have been enough to sustain viable genetic diversity over another 3000+ years, technological developments notwithstanding. Janjur Qom would've been their only hope for long-term survival, though I can see they may have wanted to curtail further technological development on part of the Stoics. The raid in ''Broken Circle'' was only one tiny ship, not an invasion—if the Covenant wanted to take the planet, they could've easily done that at any time. I don't think the Stoics' Tier 4 technology could put up any meaningful resistance against a true conquest, and that's something along the lines of what I was thinking; the San'Shyuum could've kept bombing Janjur Qom back to the stone age time and time again and kept stealing healthy females to sustain their population. Grim, but it's something I could see them doing. At the very least it's likely they may have "saved" a large number of healthy specimens from the planet if they knew the star was about to blow. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 00:14, 12 December 2014 (EST) | |||
