Technological Advancement System

The Old Republic categorised the technological advancement of civilisations into tiers. This system has been adopted by numerous galactic nations, like the Imperium of Andarra and the New Republic. All civilisations in the universe fall into one of these categories. The lower the number, the more advanced a civilisation is in a technological sense.

Tier 7: Pre-Industrial
Tier 7 is considered to be the most common and technologically-inferior tier in the galaxy. Societies that fall under this category are often scattered, utilising limited weaponry, driven by substanence farming and foraging.

Tier 6: Industrial Age
Tier 6 is marked by a period of massive urbanisation. This is when most species begin to face extinction-level threats, like climate change and widespread pollution.
