They are also capable of creating Data Hubs, which they can upload their mind to, the digital equivalent of a medically-induced coma. The PDA is able to translate the former.Īlthough the Precursors are not seen in-game, they were an extremely advanced people - able to create advanced technology ( such as teleportation devices, weapons capable of bringing down large ships, wirelessly powered biomechanical life forms capable of teleporting at will, etc.) and capturing a Sea Emperor Leviathan, the largest known living species on the planet. Their language can be heard from the deactivation terminal within the Quarantine Enforcement Platform after Ryley attempts to disable, and after he successfully disables. Their written language bears slight resemblances to Hebrew. If this is true then it is also likely that some ancient Earth languages were based on the language of the Precursors the PDA is capable of translating it without ever having encountered the language before, if the language was from a language family entirely foreign to any on Earth then translation should be impossible. This may be coincidental, however it may indicate that the Precursors influenced the formation of ancient human religions and societies. Inside the Sparse Reef Sanctuary, the PDA notes similarities between Precursor architecture and old Earth religious iconography. One of the many relics is a sword from Earth, showing that the Precursors visited the planet and possibly even made contact with humans at some point. All but one of the relics held by them were taken from other races, some of these races even more ancient than themselves. The Precursors are known to have owned technology from other races, scavenged or traded. It is unknown if this lifespan is naturally long, or augmented like Paul Torgal's, who had expected to live to the age of 160 before crashing on 4546B. The same individual was near 700 Earth-years old ( born 1,708 Earth-years ago) when its body became infected after the Kharaa outbreak and the consciousness was stored in a data hub. They are known to have had an extremely long lifespan, as evidenced in a data bank entry by the mention of a ninety-six year old Precursor being considered very young. For use as a surgical table, they would most likely be around the same height as the surgeon's waist, by this it can be estimated that the Precursor race would have averaged between seven and eight feet in height. It is likely that they were larger than humans based on the size of their bases and the objects within them, a prime example being the height of the surgical tables found in the Disease Research Facility which come up to just below Ryley Robinson's neck. No Precursor has ever been seen, so nothing is known of their physical appearance.
