During the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], [[keyship]]s were used by the [[Librarian]] to index and catalog life in the galaxy and transport it to [[Installation 00]] as part of the [[Conservation Measure]], including the Dreadnought.<ref name="universe"/> The Librarian, however, destroyed her keyships to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Flood, who with them, would be able to instantaneously travel to the Ark, rendering the [[Halo Array]] useless. Near the end of the war, the keyships were part of a strategy to hold off the [[Flood]] for nearly 79 years, although this advantage would be foiled by the massive computing power of the Flood.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', ''[[Terminal/Halo 3|Terminal Five]]''</ref> | |||
During the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], | |||
After the activation of the Array, several keyships automatically were sent out into the galaxy, containing numerous specimens of various alien races, to ensure that life would go on. One of these vessels re-seeded life to the [[San'Shyuum]] homeworld [[Janjur Qom]]. As the keyship departed for Janjur Qom, a fragment of [[Mendicant Bias]] escaped onto the keyship. After the keyship arrived at the planet and re-seeded the San'Shyuum, Mendicant Bias attempted to take control of the vessel and travel to [[Earth]] to make amends for the crimes it committed against the [[Forerunner]]s during the Forerunner-Flood war by aiding [[human]]ity. However, an unknown complication occurred and the keyship crashed onto the surface of Janjur Qom.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/mendicant-bias '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Mendicant Bias'']</ref><ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 27'' (2011 edition)</ref> After the [[Human-Covenant War]], ancient [[Covenant]] records which may contain information on this matter were researched jointly by human and [[Sangheili]] scholars on [[Sanghelios]].<ref name="catalog">[https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm2969317_Catalog-Interaction.aspx#post2969317 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Catalog Interaction'' (page 14)]</ref> | After the activation of the Array, several keyships automatically were sent out into the galaxy, containing numerous specimens of various alien races, to ensure that life would go on.

Over several millennia, the Forerunner Dreadnought became partially buried in rock and submerged below the [[Great Apothtea]], an immense sea off the coast of Janjur Qom's main continent. Early in the history of the San'Shyuum, before [[2200 BCE]], the species discovered and partially uncovered the Forerunner Dreadnought on their homeworld and began to worship it.<ref name="waypoint qom">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/janjur-qom '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Janjur Qom'']</ref><ref>'''[[Halo: Broken Circle]]''', ''page 86'' (Google Play edition)</ref> These early worshippers were split over the usage of the ship, as the [[Stoics]] refused to enter the vessel, while the radical [[Reformists]] wished to explore it. The division in San'Shyuum society led to the violent [[San'Shyuum Schism]]. During the climax of the civil war, around one thousand Reformists stormed the Dreadnought and barricaded themselves inside. The Reformists occasionally raided Stoic territory to collect and stock the ship with plants, wood, seeds, and other goods from the planet, and made preparations to depart Janjur Qom.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 57'' (Google Play edition)</ref> Eventually, the Reformists commandeered the keyship and left Janjur Qom, taking a gigantic piece of the planet with them.<ref name="ch262">'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 262''</ref> | Over several millennia, the Forerunner Dreadnought became partially buried in rock and submerged below the [[Great Apothtea]], an immense sea off the coast of Janjur Qom's main continent formed from the impact crater of the Dreadnought's crash-landing.<ref name="universe"/> Early in the history of the San'Shyuum, before [[2200 BCE]], the species discovered and partially uncovered the Forerunner Dreadnought on their homeworld and began to worship it.<ref name="waypoint qom">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/janjur-qom '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Janjur Qom'']</ref><ref>'''[[Halo: Broken Circle]]''', ''page 86'' (Google Play edition)</ref> These early worshippers were split over the usage of the ship, as the [[Stoics]] refused to enter the vessel, while the radical [[Reformists]] wished to explore it.

The massive crater left behind on Janjur Qom was filled in by the Apothtea sea.<ref name="waypoint qom"/> The Stoics watched as the Dreadnought left them behind, but they were unwilling to fire upon the object of their reverence, and grudgingly allowed the Reformists to leave.

However, they had mistranslated the terminals and incorrectly believed that activating the Halo Array would initiate the Journey.<ref>'''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''page 118'' (2011 edition)</ref> With the help of the Forerunner technology from the Dreadnought, the Reformists were able to survive and travel the galaxy.<ref name="enc120">'''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''page 120'' (2011 edition)</ref> | The massive crater left behind on Janjur Qom was filled in by the Apothtea sea.<ref name="waypoint qom"/> The Stoics watched as the Dreadnought left them behind, but they were unwilling to fire upon the object of their reverence, and grudgingly allowed the Reformists to leave.
