The Precursors were mentioned in the Bestiarum as the race preceding and mythologized by the Forerunner, being theoretical "Trans-sentient" beings [1] and having the ability to travel between galaxies and accelerate the evolution of intelligent life. The Precursors achieved a higher level of tier one technology than the Forerunners, so tier zero technology is achieved,(Transsentience) on the Forerunners' Technological Achievement Scale.
History
Text from the logs stored in the terminals around the Ark indicates it is possible that the Forerunner 'Mantle' (Guardians of the Galaxy and all life) was handed down from "legends of the past"; the Precursors. It has been presumed that the Precursors viewed the Forerunners as their own legacy, continuing their work after they departed, much in the same way Forerunner viewed humanity before the activation of the rings. In this way, humanity is related to the Precursors. Any further knowledge concerning the Precursors or their eventual fate is unknown.
