Tech Level is...variable, thanks to the effects of widespread upheaval. Automation is common in the more civilized portions of the Sector, as well as lasers, railguns, EMP emitters, and plasma throwers. The main method of FTL is the use of a 'wormhole system' that links most planets, but Kaisoken, Rau've, and Ascendancy of Man use Spacewarpers, spaceships that either use Magic (Kaisoken and Rau've) or Super-tech (Ascendancy) that can turn a hundred light years' worth of distance to one day's trip.

I added this to the OP as well.
