With humanity gone, the Flood began infecting Forerunner worlds, making them realize the threat too late. Yet, while the war was won, the Forerunner military was exhausted and a political schism began to brew in their government, cementing the tragedy to come.

The San'Shyuum were quarantined to their homeworld, forbidden to ever leave. As punishment, the Forerunners devolved humanity to hunter-gatherers and exiled them to some random planet called Earth. Humanity continued to wage war against both Forerunners and Flood, nearly beating both and forcing the Flood to retreat, but eventually losing to the Forerunners.

The Gravemind decided to get revenge on all life in the galaxy by removing free will and turning everything into the Flood. It mutated them into horrifying Flood creatures under the control of the singular Gravemind. After turning themselves into dust, the Precursors became corrupted. The Forerunners, who had yet to encounter the parasite, believed the Flood to be a lie told to justify human aggression.ĭuring the war, humanity found the last living Precursor called The Primordial, who revealed the horrifying origins of the Flood. However, humanity wasn't destroying Forerunner planets as an act of aggression, but because they were being pushed out of their space by the Flood, a parasitic life form that consumed everything it touched and turned it into more Flood. Angered, the Forerunners and humanity began a 1,000-year war, with the San'Shyuum (known later to players as the Prophets) allying themselves with humanity. Humanity and the Forerunners lived mostly on separate sides of the galaxy, until one day, 100,000 years ago, humanity began destroying Forerunner worlds. With little to survive on, most of the remaining Precursors turned themselves into dust for later rehydration.The Forerunners took up the Mantle, twisting the ideology to mean that they had a duty to keep 'lesser' races underneath them. The Forerunners rebelled against their creators, forcing the Precursors to flee the Milky Way and retreat to the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small dwarf galaxy orbiting our own. Kind oflike the Federation and the Prime Directive from Star Trek, though with a bit more smug superiority.Įventually, 5 million years later, the Precursors choose humanity to carry the mantle, making the Forerunners jealous. They hoped that one day, one of their races would carry the Mantle of Responsibility, their belief that the 'most developed' species would become benevolent stewards of life in the galaxy, protecting biodiversity and not getting involved in conflicts between different species unless it was necessary. Some 15 million years ago, give or take a couple thousand, an ancient race known as the Precursors seeded the galaxy with life, creating species such as humans and the Forerunners.
