A Biofact is a remnant of sophontic activity involving organic matter such as foodstuff remains (refuse pile) or the bones of dead sophonts (burial grounds).
Description (Specifications)[edit]
Biofacts are evidence of intelligent activity, usually of sophonts or protosophonts, but some intelligent creatures might also leave behind biofacts in the environment.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
A famous Terran example of biofacts is the Elephant Graveyard, a place where an ancient Terran species invariably goes to die, depositing large numbers of bones behind. Some scientists consider elephants to be protosophonts.
