The Forerunner are shrouded in mystery. Truer words might never have been spoken, here on the Halo Story Page. Aside from Marathon-Halo connections (They're everywhere!), the possible relationships between the Forerunner, the Covenant, and the Humans are the single most speculated-on topic.

I have a idea upon the forerunners, covenant and humans. What if the Forerunners were the ancestors of the humans AND the covenant?
How is it possible that throughout the largness of space, the many species of the covenant (such as the Jackals, Hunters, etc)and the humans would have happen to grow 2 arms and 2 legs. The chances are outragious if they are not anciently related.
Now back to the Forerunner. Perhaps they were a group of species (like the covenant) that were derived for a single organism and went on the conquer space. Then the empire collapsed, such as the roman empire, and divided into many different species, such as france, spain, the holy roman empire, etc. Since I believe that the covenant may have a far longer recording of thier history, and perhaps they have a grudge against the humans for the collapse of thier ancient religion/empire.
This would explain the symbols on the covenant and structures built by the forerunner, and also that GS calling MC the "reclaimer". GS might call him that because he recognizes the DNA (because with all the high-tec gadgets and such, I do believe that they have SOME for of identification) and also recognizes that the Humans were part of the Forerunners...
Did the Forerunner have a galactic empire? What caused the empire to collapse? Has the Forerunner empire collapsed? ;-)
