Precursors

The ancient race that seeded the galaxy with life, and the origin of the Flood.

In the Halo backstory the Precursors are a powerful intergalactic species that seeded the Milky Way with life millions of years ago. One of their created races, the Forerunners, attacked their former masters and drove the Precursors into near extinction.

Lore & Background

A few Precursors transformed themselves into dust, intending to regenerate in the future. The novel Halo: Silentium reveals that the Flood is what remains of them.
