The species has the ability to [[Buffer field|manipulate gravitational forces]], create [[Contender-class artificial intelligence|AI with full sentience]], fabricate super-dense materials, perform super-accurate slipspace navigation, [[Huragok|the ability to create life]], and [[Astroengineering|the ability to create worlds]]. The Forerunners are the most prominent civilization to have reached this level. Given their technological sophistication, it is possible that prehistoric San'Shyuum and [[Prehistoric human civilization|prehistoric humans]] also stood at Tier 1 before [[Human-Forerunner wars|their defeat]] by the Forerunners.

==Tier 0: Transsentient==

As the Forerunners had no examples of civilizations with technological accomplishments greater than themselves—with the exception of the [[Precursor]]s—this is a theoretical ceiling. It is suspected that they can travel across galaxies and accelerate the evolution of intelligent life.
 
The state of transsentience is evidently connected less to the level of available technology as understood in the traditional sense and more to a metaphysical elevation of the beings themselves beyond conventional existence.<ref>'''[[Halo: Silentium]]''', ''page 321''</ref> The Precursors' technology was created through [[neural physics]]; an abstract interplay between thought and the fabric of reality.<ref>'''[[Halo: Cryptum]]''', ''page 103''</ref> The [[Flood]]'s [[Gravemind|compound mind]] may also be understood as a form of transsentient being;<ref>'''Bestiarum''', ''Flood''</ref> indeed, in the later stages of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], the Flood was able to tap into neural physics and control Precursor artifacts.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''pages 214-215''</ref>
