A Band Society is a group of sophonts that has formed a cooperative and collaborative social arrangement as well as tool use or technological attributes.
- It is a kind of society capable of forming a stable government or polity.
Description (Specifications)
The first non-herd groupings by society form and generally take on hunter or gatherer roles, and often a mix of the two for omnivores. These are nomadic groups, for the most part, and show real signs of cooperative behavior and society-building.
- The key identifier for a band society is the presence of both external and internal technologies including tools and sophisticated social organization or hierarchy.
History & Background (Dossier)

Tool use and environmental modification begin to leave behind significant biofacts and ecofacts as the sophonts increasingly achieve mastery over their environment and achieve dominance over other species through the faculty of tools and technology.
