During the combat, the Sangheili had an early advantage, with each warrior comparable in skill to several San 'Shyuum in battle. However, the San 'Shyuum's technological superiority, and possession of the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]], meant that they had the advantage in space battles, using the Dreadnought to great effect in devastating hit-and-run strikes against the Sangheilian War Fleets. Eventually in [[876 B.C.E.]], in order to ensure the survival of their race, the Sangheili were forced to amend their position of the treatment of Forerunner technologies and began studying their relics and incorporating elements into their warship, weapon and armor designs.<ref | During the combat, the Sangheili had an early advantage, with each warrior comparable in skill to several San 'Shyuum in battle.

In time, the Sangheili learned of the San 'Shyuum's belief in the [[Great Journey]], where the Forerunners used the [[Halo Array]] to ascend to a god-like state, and wished to repeat this process on themselves. In [[852 B.C.E.]], the two races signed a treaty known as the Writ of Union to form the early Covenant, which defined the two races positions: the San 'Shyuum would act as the head religious leaders, studying the Forerunner's technology and seek out the Halos, while the Sangheili would serve as their protectors in this endeavor. The Dreadnought was decommissioned and made the center point and power source of ''[[High Charity (Structure)|High Charity]]'', a mobile planetoid which would serve as the capital of the Covenant. | In time, the Sangheili learned of the San 'Shyuum's belief in the [[Great Journey]], where the Forerunners used the [[Halo Array]] to ascend to a god-like state, and wished to repeat this process on themselves.
