War of Wills
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The War of Wills,[1] also referred to as the Stoic-Reformist conflict,[2] was an internal conflict that arose when some of the San'Shyuum began to believe that they should enter the Forerunner Dreadnought, a relic which crashed on their homeworld Janjur Qom long ago.[3]
History
The conflict began in 2200 BCE, when a group of San'Shyuum known as the Reformists demanded they be given access to the Forerunner Dreadnought present on their planet and learn from its technology, even though much of the population believed that the ship was a sacred artifact and should not be interfered with. The two sides fighting in this war were the Stoics, or the San'Shyuum who refused to enter and desecrate the Dreadnought, and the Reformists, who wanted to develop new technologies by entering and studying the Dreadnought.[4]
In 2100 BC, at the climax of the war, about a thousand Reformists broke into and commandeered the Dreadnought. The outraged Stoics were unable to take action, since even their fury toward the Reformists could not bring them to destroy the object of their reverence.
