Also what level of interstellar technology is generally normal? Like Star Trek levels, shields, phasers, transporters, holograms, force fields, that sort of thing or are we a bit more primitive like Firefly or Cowboy Bebop?

Also, a type in my CS, Stephen's 5'10" not 5'1". Just to mention.

Force fields exist, but they're advanced enough that you'll only find them on large ships, like cruisers. Lasers also exist but they haven't been around very long. If you were to just pick up a random gun off a battlefield, there would be a 50/50 chance of it being either laser or ballistic. Holograms are close to Star Wars level where it's all solid blue and static-y, so you aren't going to throw up a hologram of yourself and have everyone start shooting at it like in Halo. Mind you, this is just the Human technology level. Other races could easily have more or less advanced technology and that is all up the creators of that race. Beyond that, tech like teleportation is non-existent.
