Millions of years before the rise of the Forerunners, an advanced civilization known as the Precursors controlled the galaxy. Having reached the pinnacle of technological advancement, they were believed to have affected the evolution of life in the galaxy, even created the species known as Forerunners, but later they would be ~~nearly defeated by the Forerunners in~~ [[Forerunner-Precursor War|~~a war~~]] millions of years before the ~~Forerunner-~~Flood ~~War~~.<ref name="cryptum">'''[[Halo: Cryptum]]'''</ref>

Later, the humans stumbled upon starships of unknown origin near the edge of the galaxy. These vessels contained fine powder that proved to have supposedly beneficial psychotropic effects on animals, such as the [[Pheru]], favored by humans as pets. However, over the following centuries, the use of the power began to mutate the Pheru, spawning irregular protrusions and growths and eventually altering their behavior.<ref name="cryptum"/>

Eventually, humans and San 'Shyuum became infected by the disease, actually an early stage of [[Flood]] infestation. Hundreds of systems were lost to the parasite in [[Human-Flood war|a conflict]] between the humans and the Flood. Meanwhile, humanity's aggressive expansion and the perceived violations of the [[Mantle]] prompted the Forerunners to take action and begin [[Human-Forerunner War|a war]] against humanity. Despite being forced to fight a two-front war against the Flod and the Forerunners, humanity eventually drove the Flood off the galaxy. However, the Forerunners eventually emerged victorious over humanity after defeating their last stronghold on Charum Hakkor.<ref name="cryptum"/>
