'''Sentience''' is the ability to think intelligently, commonly determined by the being's ability to speak, manipulate tools, and reason. Lifeforms lacking such capabilities are classified as non-sentient, though some classification systems have a middle ground, semi-sentient, for species that had very primitive capabilities to manipulate tools, use language, and/or solve problems. The [[Precursors]] were thought to be "transsentient", which probably means that they were above "normal" sentient life forms in factors such as intelligence. | '''Sentience''' is the ability to think intelligently, commonly determined by the being's ability to speak, manipulate tools, and reason.
