I hate to burst some bubbles, but inbreeding, while... yucky... is not inherently harmful in a genetic sense. It is only when inbreeding leads to passing on unfavourable genes (diseases, deficiencies, etc) that inbreeding hurts a population. In fact, you could potentially resurrect an entire race from one of each sex of an animal, so long as they were genetically very healthy and fit to deal with to whatever hardships life started to throw at them (infections disease, for example).
If anyone watched Blade Trinity dracula was the purest and it degenerated after him. If that is the same with the forerunner then only one or two genders may be needed but in our standards we need about a 100 to go well with little defect
