Period in which man or the dominant race is exploring space. In this Age, technology and most scientific disciplines have made great strides, allowing the construction of spaceships or advanced systems to be able to reach distant planets or systems within a certain time.
- Weaponry: Maximum technological development, which allows, with a small amount of energy, maximum destructive capacity (use of anti-matter, etc.).
- Communication: Given the differences between the various Science Fiction settings, communication systems can be of three types. In the order:
- Light speed information, construction of holographic projectors.
- Information faster than the speed of light.
- Zero-time information, construction of hologram rooms.
- Computer: Unusual ability to acquire and process data makes computers in this Age irreplaceable for performing most tasks. One has:
- Holographic systems.
- Genetic engineering: Construction of specimens perfectly suited to the task at hand.
- Artificial intelligence: Sentient droids often perfectly integrated into society. In the order:
- Construction of droids with elaboration processes able to respond with a certain slowness to unknown situations.
- Droids with a response speed possibly higher than that of unmodified natural individuals.
- Medicine: Increased life cycle length; almost absolute success in fighting diseases.
- Social Organization: Any.
- Food Production: Ability to make entire before unproductive planets suitable for cultivation; use of larger, more productive animals that are more resistant to stress and disease.
- Religion: Any.
- Resources Exploitation: The evolution of technology makes it possible to obtain a material yield close to 95%.
- Transport: Given the differences between the various Science Fiction settings, transport systems can be of four types. In the order:
- Space travel with a speed lower than that of light, a short range of exploration.
- Space travel at light speed.
- Space travel at a speed higher than that of light.
- Time zero travel.
