==Description== | |||
Because the San 'Shyuum do not discuss their culture with other races, very little is known of Janjur Qom, other than that it had very low gravity.<ref name= "ENC298" >'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''': ''page 298'' </ref> | |||
==History== | ==History== | ||
Following the surrender of the San'Shyuum in the [[Human-Forerunner War]], Janjur Qom and another San'Shyuum-inhabited world in its system were placed under a Quarantine Shield, monitored by the Forerunner warship [[Deep Reverence]]. The San'Shyuum were not allowed to leave the system, but were permitted to travel between Janjur Qom and their other world. | |||
During the [[Forerunner-Flood War]], the [[Librarian]] came to Janjur Qom to collect specimens of the San'Shyuum for preservation on the [[Ark]]. The San'Shyuum, terrified by the thought of an impending cataclysm, attempted to rise up against the Forerunner defenses surrounding their system. They were unsuccessful, and later the entire planet was sterilized in a cruel act of punishment by one of the [[Faber|Master Builder]]'s Halo Installations. The San'Shyuum species was preserved, however, and would be reseeded on their planet after the Array was fired at the conclusion of the war. Their population was five hundred million after the activation of the [[Halo Array]].<ref name= "Best" >'''[[Bestarium]]''' </ref> | |||
===Post Forerunner-Flood War=== | |||
With their former relationship with the Forerunners all but forgotten, the San 'Shyuum came to regard the Forerunners as gods, and worshiped their technology as gifts left behind for other races. The greatest of these relics was the [[Forerunner Dreadnought|Dreadnought]], a fully functional [[keyship]], possibly the last in the galaxy. Because of the presence of easily accessible Forerunner relics on the planet, the San 'Shyuum advanced faster than most of the other races in the galaxy. However, the San 'Shyuum came to regard the Dreadnought as too holy to explore in depth.<ref name= "ENC115" >'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''': ''page 115'' </ref> | |||
This policy was maintained until [[2200 B.C.E.]], when a group of San 'Shyuum known as the [[Reformists]] demanded they be given access to the Dreadnought. This was anathema to the [[Stoics]] who maintained the belief of reverence. For the next one hundred years, the San 'Shyuum engaged in [[San 'Shyuum Civil War|internal conflict]]. The war ended in [[2100 B.C.E.]], when one thousand Reformists barricaded themselves in the Dreadnought. As the Stoics were unwilling to destroy the object they revered, they were indecisive over what to do. This allowed the Reformers to activate the Dreadnought and leave, taking a huge chunk of the planet with them. The Stoics cursed the Reformers to exile, never to return. The Reformists would later go on to be ancestors of those who [[Sangheili-San 'Shyuum War|fought]] with the [[Sangheili]] and become the first Prophets of the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''pages 262-264''</ref> | This policy was maintained until [[2200 B.C.E.]], when a group of San 'Shyuum known as the [[Reformists]] demanded they be given access to the Dreadnought.
