The '''Battle of Charum Hakkor'''<ref name="mythos13">'''[[Halo Mythos]]''', ''page 13''</ref> was a prolonged military conflict between the [[Forerunner]]s and the [[prehistoric human civilization|prehistoric human empire]], being the last conflict in the millennium-long [[human-Forerunner wars]]. Lasting for a total of fifty-three years, it took place around and later on the planet [[Charum Hakkor]], the heart of the [[human]]s' interstellar empire, around nine thousand years prior to the [[Forerunner-Flood war]]. It concluded in the Forerunners defeating the humans' empire.<ref name="c131">'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 131''</ref> | The '''Battle of Charum Hakkor'''<ref name="mythos13">'''[[Halo Mythos]]''', ''page 13''</ref> was a prolonged military conflict between the [[Forerunner]]s and the [[prehistoric human civilization|prehistoric human empire]], being the last major conflict in the millennium-long [[human-Forerunner wars]].

After being pushed back to the core of their empire, the collective human species managed to hold off the Forerunner military for fifty years. Despite the humans using [[Precursor]] [[unbending filament]]s to link their orbital defenses and the extensive amount of preparation and study gained from humanity's early conflicts with the Forerunners, humanity was pushed backwards and cut off from reinforcements as the Forerunner military disrupted humanity's slipstream tunnels, effectively preventing reinforcements and blockading Charum Hakkor's system from the rest of the [[human-San'Shyuum alliance]].<ref name="prim239">'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 239-240''</ref> | After being pushed back to the core of their empire, the collective human species managed to hold off the Forerunner military for fifty years.

[[Forthencho|Lord of Admirals Forthencho]], commander of the last fleets of Charum Hakkor, managed to successfully resist the the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]] for three years of continuous attacks despite being overwhelmingly outnumbered and using inferior slipstream and AI technology. Human ships swept across the system for hundreds of times to counter the Didact's daring orbital incursions, to prevent them from establishing superior energy-efficient orbits.<ref name="prim239"/> During the planet's siege, the Forerunners contacted the [[San'Shyuum]] and formulated a secret deal. Facing inevitable defeat, the San'Shyuum were to betray their human allies by allowing Charum Hakkor's security to be breached by the Forerunners. In return, the San'Shyuum would be spared from extinction or de-evolution, but instead quarantined to their [[San'Shyuum home system|home system]].<ref name="mythos13"/> | [[Forthencho|Lord of Admirals Forthencho]], commander of the last fleets of Charum Hakkor, managed to successfully resist the the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]] for three years of continuous attacks despite being overwhelmingly outnumbered and using inferior slipstream and AI technology.
