[edit] Causes

Days before the rebellion, the Librarian had briefly visited Janjur Qom to collect specimens to protect them from the impending Flood attack. This visit sparked unrest among the San 'Shyuum, who correctly surmised that the Librarian's visit could only mean that their lives were in jeopardy.

[edit] Battle

The San 'Shyuum soon began a full rebellion, using a cache of hidden weapons and ships to make war on the Forerunners. A Forerunner fleet was permitted entry into the quarantine shield with full functionality and power, soon overwhelming the San 'Shyuum defenses and taking control of the planet. A Halo ring was then unexpectedly brought in and used to sterilize the planet.

[edit] Aftermath

The battle devastated the surface of Janjur Qom, destroying most of the planet.

During the battle, Didact's ship was interdicted and destroyed in orbit; as a result, the Didact, Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting, Chakas, and Morning Riser were captured by the Master Builder. Didact was said to have been executed shortly after the conclusion of the battle.^[2]

After the battle, Faber was tried before the Capital Court for misconduct and violation of the Mantle.^[3]
