Here's a scary thought, what if this mystery race has achieved, or even surpassed tier 1 technology?
that is exactly what i was getting at dude, its actually really cool when you think about it. My own modest estimates place the ship in the terminal 40,000 years ago at around tier-2 from the sleek and refined design (although there is no real way to know).
If they were originally catalouged on the rings like guilty spark was implying, then that means they re-started their civilization around the same time as the san-shyuun and sangheili etc. So in just 60,000 years this species achieved space-faring status at least on par with the covenant. Whereas the other species relevant to the galaxy were still trying to get the hang of stone tools. In other words, this species' rate of technological expansion is unprecedented, putting to shame even the forerunner.
Now i'm not going to compare anything to a tier-0 species (precursor) until i find out a little more about them. But there are some users on this forum who strongly believe that the species would have achieved tier-0 by now easily. (grey101) I must admit though, it is entirely possible that they are tier-0 by now. The only problem with this theory is that if they were so advanced, surely they would have forcibly taken control over the halo-rings or shield worlds a long time ago. Or made some sort of contact with the Forerunner AI.
A counter argument to this is that perhaps they have become so advanced that they left the galaxy for whatever reasons. Who knows? Hopefully they will have a part in the new trilogy.
