Late into the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], the [[Librarian]] came to Janjur Qom to collect specimens of the San'Shyuum for [[Conservation Measure|preservation]] on [[Installation 00]]. The San'Shyuum, terrified by the thought of an impending cataclysm, [[Battle of Janjur Qom|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 [[Installation 07|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">'''[[Halo 3]]''', ''[[Bestiarum]]''</ref> | Late into the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], the [[Librarian]] came to Janjur Qom to collect specimens of the San'Shyuum for [[Conservation Measure|preservation]] on [[Installation 00]].

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.

This was anathema to the [[Stoics]] who maintained the belief of reverence. For the next one hundred years, the San'Shyuum engaged in internal conflict. The war ended in [[2100 BCE]], 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 Reformists 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]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''pages 262-264''</ref> With the departure of the Reformists, the Stoics were left as the dominant civilization on Janjur Qom.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 97-98''</ref> | ||
