In [[938 BCE]], the Reformist San'Shyuum first encountered the Sangheili on their [[Sangheili colonies|frontier world]] of Ulgethon. Although the two species shared a common reverence toward the [[Forerunners]], both species had ideological differences regarding the treatment of Forerunner technology. Like the San'Shyuum [[Stoics]], the Sangheili believed that Forerunner relics were not to be modified in any way and considered the San'Shyuum's reverse-engineering of artifacts as blasphemy, punishable by death. Upon discovering the San'Shyuum's sacrilegious intent to excavate a hidden repository of Forerunner artifacts on Ulgethon, the Sangheili turned against the invaders and executed a delegation sent by San'Shyuum, sparking hostilities over the planet. | In [[938 BCE]], the Reformist San'Shyuum first encountered the Sangheili on their [[Sangheili colonies|frontier world]] of Ulgethon.

The Desecration of Ulgethon marked the beginning of the decades-long war between the two alien species.{{Ref/Reuse|Mythos}} | ||
