The planet was once inhabited by the [[Forerunner]]s. Numerous Forerunner artifacts were left behind on the planet. At some point, the planet was the homeworld of an unknown bipedal species that ultimately went extinct.

At some point, the planet became inhabited by the [[Sangheili]]. During the [[War of Beginnings]], the Planet of Blue and Red's location made it of strategic importance to the Sangheili. In [[860 BCE]], the [[San'Shyuum]] had discovered the planet and descended to the surface in an attempt to claim the world for themselves, after their [[Luminary]] confirmed the presence of Forerunner artifacts.
