Next to nothing is known about the Forerunners, except that they were a very advanced civilization, coming to power after the disappearance of another race, known to them as the [[Precursors]]. The Forerunners reached their peak before activating the [[Halo Array]] around 100,000 years ago, exactly as planned (as explained by [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|343 Guilty Spark]] in ''[[Halo 2]]'')<ref>''Halo 3 Limited Edition'' - [[Bestiarum]]</ref>.

The Forerunners were highly technologically advanced during their reign; some speculated that the ancient faction had the ability to accelerate a species stage development{{Verify_source}}. Being the only known race ever to achieve Tier 1 technology based on the [[Technological Achievement Tiers]] measurement, they were only superseded by the mysterious Precursors at Tier 0; evidence of which has been found on various planets. The fact that the Halos were scattered around the galaxy also hints at the possibility that the Forerunner empire covered most, if not all, of the galaxy. It has also been hinted at in the [[Terminals]] that the Forerunners received their "[[Mantle]]" from the coinciding "Precursors".
