938 BCE
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
|
In 938 BCE the San 'Shyuum first encounter the Sangheili on Sanghelios who, like the Stoics, believe that Forerunner relics are to be worshipped, not modified.[1] This ideological difference results in the Sangheili-San 'Shyuum War, in which the Sangheili have a distinct advantage in infantry combat due to superior numbers and troop quality. However, in space combat the San 'Shyuum have a great advantage because of their Dreadnought.[2]
