"I am the last of those your kind rose up against and ruthlessly destroyed."
— The Primordial to the Didact.

Ten million years before the Forerunner-Flood war,[1] the Forerunners rose up and destroyed their creators, the race of beings known as the Precursors, in a massive war. Though all Precursors were believed to have been eradicated, the Primordial, who originally claimed to be the last Precursor, later stated that a number of Precursors survived by escaping beyond the Forerunners' reach.[2] The Forerunners' defiance of their creators may have been an act of self-defense, as the Precursors had allegedly decided to erase their species from existence, as they had done with many of their other creations.[3]

This conflict took place so long before the time of the Didact and Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting that their respective generations had no knowledge of it.[4]
