The Eclipse Universe: Technology

The levels of technology vary greatly in all cultures.

The thing to remember with the Eclipse world is that high tech items are generally distrusted or dangerous, some things like A.I reactive computer programs are unheard of and if found would most likely be destroyed. So the tech is a weird amalgam of high-tech/low-tech. think along the lines of the Dune novels by Frank Herbert or the Warhammer 4OK setting where most tech is looked at with superstition or nearly mystical awe.

Imperials

The average person living in the Imperium is limited to roughly 1940-1950 technology, with the some exceptions. Only military or corporate specialists have any computer based skills and True High Technology and Archeotech is strictly limited to the higher echelon of the Houses.

Tech specialties include:

Cybernetics
Firearms
Medicine
Cloning
Genetics

Meurlain

The average Meurlain lives in a very rustic village or town. As the Meurlain aspire to a minimalist or simple life, early 20th century technology is common but some remote villages have no electricity or running water. Computers are almost non existent as the Meurlain rely on their astounding feats of mental mathematics and probability rather than rely on a machine.

Tech specialties include:

Crystal tech
Fields
Melee weaponry
Advanced Mathematics

Fringers

The common Fringer lives a rough short life. Technology varies from planet to planet but most aren't much more advanced than early 20th century. The exception to this is Taranis which is full of technology, but most of it is faulty or in severe disrepair.

Tech specialties include:

Melee weaponry
Chemistry
Survival

Tribes

The tech level on Tribe worlds varies greatly, from the high tech spires and towers of Vohu (haven) to the simple utilitarian housing of the Aeshma and Kshathra. Technology ranges around the late 19th century to high tech beyond what we have now.
