Technological Achievement Tiers: Difference between revisions

[[Humans]] have efficient [[Slipspace]] navigation, mass drivers, [[MAC Gun|asynchronous linear-induction weapons]], [[Data Crystal Chip|holocrystal storage]] and semi-sentient [[AI]] (though their creation requires memory transfer from freshly deceased and/or [[flash cloning]]). They have had no outside influence - until recent events. Since [[Covenant]] contact, they have been on the verge of huge artificial advancement. 26th Century [[Humanity]] stands at this level. This is also the [[Lekgolo]] civilization native tier before joining the [[Covenant]].

The [[Covenant]]'s ability to perform exceedingly accurate Slipspace navigation, [[Battlenet|near-instantaneous communication]] and man-portable application of energy manipulation owes itself to [[Forerunner]] technology. The unified state of the 26th Century [[Covenant]] stands at this level. Both [[San 'Shyuum]] and [[Sangheili]] brought the other races of the Covenant to such a high technological level when incorporating them into the Covenant.  

The [[Forerunner]]s ability to manipulate gravitational forces, create [[Monitor|AI with full sentience]], fabricate super-dense materials, perform super-accurate Slipspace navigation and the ability to create worlds (e.g.; [[Onyx]], [[The Halo Array]] and [[Installation 00|The Ark]]) is unequaled by any known existent civilization.
