History[edit]
The Shaps system was once part of the Forerunner ecumene. The Forerunners had established a settlement on the system's third planet, Shaps III.[2]
In 2553, Sav Fel brought Staffan Sentzke and Edvin Sentzke to the Shaps system to try out the Pious Inquisitor's energy projector. Sav chose Shaps III to test it since it was a wasteland with ancient ruins and no one would notice the energy spike.[2]
