Also List of Research Costs

Biology / Genetics

Biology, Genetics, evolution shapes the creatures on a world to better fit their environment over the course of millennia. Practitioners in this field attempt to speed this process, either through genetic manipulation to make beings that better fit a given environment or by creating mechanisms that make the environment better fit the beings.

Genome Sequence Research: A background technology that allows research into the creation of new species. Genetic modification may allows the creation of new variants of our species with differing environmental tolerances, potentially useful for colonizing non-ideal worlds.

Construction / Production

Trans-Newtonian Technology: The starting tech for all Trans-Newtonian technology. It is imperative that we establish a more robust and comprehensive theory of Trans-Newtonian physics. The minor research done up until this point has been promising, but a large-scale, dedicated, systematic approach may open dozens of new avenues of investigation. Trans-Newtonian empires have access to this technology from the start.

Defensive Systems

Energy Weapons

Advanced Laser Focal Size: The 'calibre' of the weapon. Can only be found in ruins, not researched.


Logistics / Ground Combat

Bridge: Essential for every ship over 1000 tons, and the location of the ship commander
Maintenance module: A ship component that is added to the total maintenance facilites of a population if the ship/PDC is on the same planet or in near orbit
Additional Maintenance Storage: Allows a ship to carry additional maintenance supplies
Orbital Habitat Module: Provides life support for up to 50000 workers. Useful for space stations
Recreational Module: A recreational module provides entertainment for ships or bases on deep deployments
Ship to Ship Tractor Beam: A tractor beam capable of attaching one ship to another

Missiles / Kinetic Weapons


Power and Propulsion

Sensors and Fire Control

Electronic Warfare: Prerequisite technology for Electronic countermeasures and Electronic counter-countermeasures
Missile Fire Control: This active sensor is designed as a fire control system.
