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. The greatest of these relics was the [[Forerunner Dreadnought|Dreadnought]], a fully functional [[keyship]], possibly the last in the galaxy. Because of the presence of easily accessible Forerunner relics on the planet, the San'Shyuum advanced faster than most of the other races in the galaxy. However, the San'Shyuum came to regard the Dreadnought as too holy to explore in depth.<ref name= "ENC115" | 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 policy was maintained until [[2200 BCE]], when a group of San'Shyuum known as the [[Reformists]] demanded they be given access to the Dreadnought. This was anathema to the [[Stoics]] who maintained the belief of reverence. For the next one hundred years, the San'Shyuum engaged in [[San'Shyuum Schism|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> | This policy was maintained until [[2200 BCE]], when a group of San'Shyuum known as the [[Reformists]] demanded they be given access to the Dreadnought.
