Vinean Technologies
The Vineans are much more advanced than 20th century terrans. Among the key Vinean technologies are:
- Maglev trains, which form the typical transport between their cities
- Interplanetary travel at near-lightspeed with mature technology spaceships of various sizes
- Interstellar travel, with either stasis-ships or using wormhole technology for FTL travel
- Artificial intelligence, with sentient computers playing a substantial role in many stories
- Hibernation / Stasis, allowing people to be 'frozen' without harm for millions of years
- Arcologies built with advanced structural materials, allowing large underground, underwater or space cities
- Disintegrators, usable at different levels of power for use as pacification device, lethal weapon or tool
- 'Thermal Bombs' (similar to nuclear weapons but without radiation) used as weapons, demolition and excavation devices
- Artificial telepathy, allowing mental contact over long distances, often combined with universal translators
- Mind uploading, enabling the personalities and memories of people to be stored or to control machines
