It was in this year that they made first contact with the Lekgolo on Rentus, specifically with a powerful gestalt of the species known as Mgalekgolo. Arriving in orbit around Te by 784 BCE, the San'Shyuum had hoped to find a treasure trove of Forerunner relics, but instead only found the Lekgolo worms, settled around the rings and moons of Te. In 789 BCE, during one of the Covenant's first Ages of Conversion, early San'Shyuum experiments with primitive, reverse-engineered copies of the Forerunner Dreadnought's luminary led them to discover Te in the Svir system, located relatively close to the Sangheili's native Urs system. Despite this, their space travel capabilities were extremely limited, having developed at an exceedingly slow rate due to the difficulties resulting from their high-gravity homeworld Te. The Covenant's use of the term "taming" can be misleading, as the Lekgolo possessed a highly advanced, if alien, culture prior to their contact with the Covenant, having reached Tier 3 of the Forerunner technological achievement scale on their own. First contact with the worm-like Lekgolo species during the Covenant's galaxy-wide search for remnants of Forerunner technology in one of their early Ages of Conversion led to a conflict between the Lekgolo and the Covenant, eventually resulting in the former's incorporation into the hegemony. The Taming of the Lekgolo was a war between the Covenant and the Lekgolo. " While some were shortsighted and chose to reject the promise of our union, all were eventually swayed by the knowledge that those who joined the Covenant would be welcome on our Great Journey." - The High Prophet of Truth
