Forerunner-Precursor war

"I am the last of those your kind rose up against and ruthlessly destroyed."

- The Prisoner of Charum Hakkor to the Didact

The Forerunner-Precursor War was a conflict in which the Forerunners rose up and destroyed their creators, the race of beings known as the Precursors. The entire Precursor species was believed to be eradicated from the galaxy, leaving only one alive. This conflict took place so long before the time of the Didact and Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting that their generation had no knowledge of it.

Information
Occuring roughly 150,000 years before the events of Halo CE. It is unknown why the Forerunners wanted to destroy their creators, although it is likely that they wanted to be the "superior race" of the Milky Way Galaxy. It is also unknown how the Forerunners managed to defeat the precursors, even though the Precursors were a Tier 0 civilization and the Forerunners were only Tier 1. Howver the forerunners may have had some help like the humans in the Human-Covenant war.
