Forerunner society was divided into a number of different classes known as rates, each rate specializing in a particular field of work. The [[Builder]]s, who designed most Forerunner technology, from ships and weapons to their various megastructures, were the highest rate and wielded the most political power. The second rate were the [[Miner]]s, who obtained construction materials for the Builders' projects and were responsible for planetary and stellar engineering. Below the Miners were the [[Lifeworker]]s, who were responsible for medicine and biological research. The [[Juridical]]s were a rate whose duties encompassed legal matters within the ecumene. The [[Warrior-Servant]]s served as the primary fighting force of the ecumene, while the [[Engineer (rate)|Engineers]] maintained technology and machinery. | Forerunner society was divided into a number of different classes known as rates, each rate specializing in a particular field of work.

The rates, in turn, were divided into smaller units, [[guild]]s, [[Maniple]]s and [[clan]]s. Adolescent individuals, known as [[Manipular]]s, were not considered to be part of a rate until their mutation into first-form. During special occasions, each rate of Forerunners wore unique ceremonial headgear except for one day of [[Grand Star Season]], when all rates would wear similar headgear.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 37''</ref> | The rates, in turn, were divided into smaller units, [[guild]]s, [[Maniple]]s and [[clan]]s.
