Apex Technology

Apex technology is the pinnacle of post-human advancement, highly prized devices of technological complexity, they generally include technology that violates traditional physics, including teleportation technology, reactionless drives and casuality violating devices.

T-Gate: Transporter gates range from microscale FTL communications systems to the massive interstellar gates that link solar systems together. Smaller systems function like wormholes, while larger systems convert matter into a digital signal that is transmitted through a wormhole to another station where the matter is reproduced. They are relatively mobile and enough have been salvaged for most planets and major hubs to be connected to the human run network in the Reconnect. The only downside is that T-Gates so far, have been preprogrammed to access only certain other T-Gates.

A-Gate: Assember gates were responsible for the construction of materials, from individuals to weapons of war. They have self-contained energy systems of an unknown design and are capable of operating without material input. Most known Assembler gates are heavily corrupted, producing half functioning devices or lacking complete libraries. Efforts to reverse this form a major component of posthuman research.

Datacrystals: Fortunately for humanity, posthumans stored much of their data on system’s compatible with inferior systems in the interests of simplifying trade. While the A and T-Gates themselves are unfathomably advanced, they have secondary storage devices known as datacrystals, easily read by most polities then and today. Finding datacrystals is an important pursuit.
