Technology Ratings provide a rough guide on the development level of most sentient races in the Galaxy.
Level Zero[]
- Use of weapons or tools through genetics and evolution (i.e. claws, venom, stingers and e.t.c.)
- Self-propelled axillary transportation (i.e. walking)
- Space ferrying ability: not possible (Zerg are the exception)
Level One[]
- Use of weapons or tools made of basic materials (i.e. stone clubs)
- Self-propelled axillary transportation (i.e. walking) or domesticated animals
- Space ferrying ability: not possible
Level Two[]
- Use of weapons or tools made of metal or non-metal materials
- Transportation through walking, domesticated animals, or non-living machines
- Use of combustible fuels and electrical energy
- Space ferrying ability: not possible
Level Three[]
- Use of weapons or tools made with circuitry
- Transportation through walking or machines
- Use of nuclear fuels in fusion/fission reations
- Space ferrying ability: basic stages through space vessels
Level Four[]
- Use of weapons or tools made with psionic parts
- Transportation through walking or machines
- Use of matter-antimatter or high-yield energy reactions
- Space ferrying ability: through space vessels and interstellar wormhole technology (can not go to other galaxies)
Level Five[]
- Difficult to classify (most advanced)
- Use of weapons or tools made with psionic parts
- Some technology is advanced enough that even Level Four species cannot understand fully
- Transportation through machines
- Use of fuels from unknown source
- Space ferrying ability: through space vessels and intergalactic wormhole technology (can move from galaxy to galaxy)
