Technology
Jaridian technology is crystalline in appearance and highly adaptive. The Jaridians deploy probes to gather information, but also as offensive weapons, as probes have consistently shown themselves to be capable of withstanding heavy fire.
Jaridian starships come in a variety of designs, the most powerful of which appears to be the Sokara-class cruiser. These ships have armaments powerful enough to destroy the surface of entire planets. There are several of these vessels in service.
The Jaridian fleet does not possess interdimensional technology, and are significantly slower than Taelon craft. There is some debate as to whether or not the Jaridians have the capacity to travel faster than the speed of light at all, though many fans believe that, even over the course of millions of years of warfare, the Jaridians would require some FTL capacity. In the final episode of the fourth season, a Jaridian cruiser may be travelling faster than light, but is not in an interdimensional pathway.

Famous quotes containing the word technology:
“The successor to politics will be propaganda. Propaganda, not in the sense of a message or ideology, but as the impact of the whole technology of the times.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“One can prove or refute anything at all with words. Soon people will perfect language technology to such an extent that they’ll be proving with mathematical precision that twice two is seven.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“If we had a reliable way to label our toys good and bad, it would be easy to regulate technology wisely. But we can rarely see far enough ahead to know which road leads to damnation. Whoever concerns himself with big technology, either to push it forward or to stop it, is gambling in human lives.”
—Freeman Dyson (b. 1923)
