The technological level is near future, but not since the planet is at war, nothing has really been going on for spaceflight. I'd say the variant is definitely cyberpunk, and it's up to lazer guns. The magic is pretty much whatever people come up with. The people of the planet come in all different shapes, colors, and sizes. Yes, there would probably be some people who are more adapted to the heat and cold but the majority live in the belt region where there are no extremes, so they could look like anything.
