The defeat was disastrous for both Humanity and the San'Shyuum. The victorious Forerunners decided to dismantle every piece of pre-historic human civilization, causing the species to devolve on their own. Because of this cataclysmic event, humanity splintered into many species, including the [[Florian]]s.

When [[the Librarian]] attempted to index the San'Shyuum during the early stages of [[Forerunner-Flood War]], the San'Shyuums mistook her intentions and rose in revolt against the Forerunners. Later, [[Master Builder|Faber]] took this opportunity to test Halo's effects on living beings on the San'Shyuum homeworld, which surpassed all expectations.
