The Stoics had largely resisted technological progress, likely because they believed that development of new technologies may bring upon the wrath of their gods. The Stoics possessed attack vehicles that were capable of flight. Air compression and gas-ignited fuel was used to operate Stoic vehicles and to fire their weaponry. The Stoics also had some form of reflector scanning technology that could detect vehicles entering Janjur Qom's atmosphere.<ref name="bc97"/> The Stoics were noted to have simple satellites and other structures compatible with a [[Technological Achievement Tiers|Tier 5]] society.<ref name="bc89"/> The Stoics are specifically skilled in biotechnology and genetics, as they were unwilling to use hardware technology like the Reformists. Stoic warriors used [[folasteed]] mounts in battle. These mounts were essentially the forest itself creating riding mounts from itself for the soldiers, as if the riders were sliding along the forest's vegetation. Additionally, the vines of the forests have been genetically modified to manipulate objects or even tear apart a living being. The plants were controlled by the riders, but had the ability to feel threatened and could attack if they deemed it necessary.<ref name="bc137"/> The Stoics were armed with long-range missiles capable of hitting a ship in orbit.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 149''</ref> | The Stoics had largely resisted technological progress, likely because they believed that development of new technologies may bring upon the wrath of their gods.

The stoic San'Shyuum were far more muscular and athletic than the reformist San'Shyuum due to being used to the higher gravity of Janjur Qom.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''''</ref> | |||
