Technology

Technology Lore
The Shadow Star Universe is a panoply of mixed systems of economic thought, ranging from primitive human tribes to godlike sentient machines who reshape matter with their will. Trapped between these two worlds are human beings just trying to get by on what little understanding they have of the technological cornucopia at their disposal, the vast majority of which engineers have only a rudimentary understanding of at best.

Shadow Star technology is split into three major camps: Forerunner Tech, High Technology, and New Tech. These are highly regulated by Anactora Law to ensure no autonomous AI is ever allowed to operate weapons or reproduce on its own without manual input from a human mind.

The gods, and their capacity to invent new High Technologies, are now dormant in their prison above Terra. Humanity is alone trying to figure out how it all works from square one -- all while using it in daily life.
