Technological Achievement Tiers: Difference between revisions

The [[Forerunner]]s categorized the '''Technological Advancement''' of civilizations into '''Tiers'''.<ref>'''[[Bestiarum]]'''</ref> This system was later adopted by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]. All life and civilizations in the Universe fall into one of the categories.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 273''</ref> The lower the Tier number, the more advanced the civilization's technology is/was. It should be noted that this is also a reference to [[Bungie]]'s favorite number of [[7]].

Tier 7 is one of the most common and stable states, with limited weaponry and environmental threats. Societies tend to be small and scattered, driven by subsistence farming, foraging, or hunter-gathering needs. Technology is limited to simple hand made tools, weapons, or agrarian implements and methods, but a very broad understanding of planetary and solar mechanics is not uncommon.
