So i'm bored as all hell and thought this would be cool to pass the time.

The rules are simple. Create a space fairing race and assign technological stats to said race.

The tech stats are as follows

Space Travel

1. Interplanetary Travel. Capable of casually traversing their own solar system
2. Interstellar Travel. Capable of traveling between star systems in a relatively short time
3. Intergalactic Travel. The emptiness of intergalactic space can easily be traversed by this race.
4. Interdimensional Travel. Capable of traveling to other universes and realities
5. Void Travel. Like the previous level, they can travel to other universes and realities, but they require no medium to travel through, their technology makes them immune to the dangers of the void.

Destructive Capabilities

1. Fleet busting.
2. Planet Busting
3. Star Busting
4. Solar System Busting (Or a weapon with at least an effective range of one full lightyear)
5. Galaxy Busting

Biological Technology

1. These species have at the very least doubled or tripled their overall life extinct. They are capable of direct genetic modification. Vaccines and medicine are readily available.
2. A species of this caliber has greatly increased their overall life expectancy tenfold, centuries are to them what decades or to underdeveloped species. Genetic modification has allowed them to nearly phase out disease and genetic shortcomings.
3. These creatures have exponentially increased their lifespans, being able to live through millennia with no detriments to their health. Evolutionary shortcomings no longer exist.
4. Species of this caliber have increased their lifespans so greatly that the effects of time on their biology is essentially arbitrary. Moving beyond disease and evolutionary shortcomings, this race now possesses the ability to turn members of its species in to beings with enormous power.
5. The passing of time has no effect on this race. Complete mastery over one’s own genetics. Moving beyond mere removal of disease and genetic weakness, these races have the ability to make themselves living gods.

Hardware. This is a measure of the civilizations technology
Examples: Nanomachines, personal weapons/devices.

1. These races are just now uncovering how to manipulate the laws of physics and the fundamental forces of reality, not having yet fully mastered them. Direct manipulation of matter and energy is a brand new frontier for this species.
2. Technology meant to subvert the physical processes of reality are abundant, while not completely mastering them, they can easily negate their effects. They are no strangers to molecular manipulation and direct energy conversion.
3. For these races, matter and energy is paint, reality is the canvas. All forms of energy fall under their command and the forces of reality are but annoyances to them. This is the point at which a species can fully negate scientific laws, but not necessarily control them, at least not to a noticeable effect.
4. The technology of these races allow them to see into the very essence of time and space itself. The quantum world is nearly fully understood and can be easily manipulated. However they fall short of completely understanding the inner workings of reality, and how to fully apply this knowledge
5. Races of this caliber possess technology which to lesser races seems nothing short of magic. The laws of physics bend to their whim, reality is their playground.

Software. This is a measure of a society's ability, to store, analyze, and apply data.
Examples: AI, cyberspace, Hard drives
1. Intelligent AI which can perform rudimentary functions. These races can casually store and analyze petabytes of data.
2. Semi-Sapient AI which can perform complex tasks they just fall short of true sentience, being unable to fully comprehend the non-logical and more imaginative sides of sentient beings. Beings of this caliber can casually store and analyze Exabyte’s of data.
3. Fully Sapient AI, they are their own persons, their own beings. These races can casually store and analyze zettabytes of data
4. Fully Sapient AI capable of making predictions so accurate they are seen more as precognition than as predictions, while not omniscient, they are almost prophetic in their analyzations. These races can casually store yottabytes of data and analyze said data at faster than light speeds.
5. AI goes beyond Sapient and can be considered nigh omniscient. Data storage is for all intents and purposes, infinite. Analyzation of said data? Instantaneous. These races possess cyberspaces which are as vast and unending as the universe itself.

Engineering
1. Can casually build structures that are a minimum of a 100 meters
2. Can casually build structures that are a minimum of 1 full kilometer
3. Can casually build structures that are a minimum in the tens of kilometers
4. Can casually build structures that are a minimum in the hundreds of kilometers
5. Can casually build structures that are a minimum of a megameter.
