====Space Age====
In this Era, the invention of two key technologies herald humanity’s climb to the stars. The gravity induction reactor systematically replaces fusion power as an even more efficient source of energy that can be miniaturized with great ease. With the use of the mass reactor, world powers explore, divide, and colonize the entirety of the local star system. For the most part, life on the home planet is unchanged.

The second advance of the era brings perhaps the greatest upheaval in the history of human civilization. The introduction and integration of gravity induction technology leads to the creation of the induction engine, which allows starship to bridge the gap between the stars. Political and economic reorganization occurs as the species spreads far from home. Contact with other species in the universe are starting to be seen but most of the times the two species will not understand each others making their relation accidental.

Projectile firearms are in their last days, as crude energy weapons become available. Powered armor is available to warriors of this age. Personal (melee) weapons enjoy a resurgence, due in large part to a shift in military tactics—armed conflict between individuals seldom occurs on an army scale, but more frequently involves engagements of small units in conditions when ranged weapons are not necessarily effective.
Computer technology links every society, settlement, and outpost of a star system in a single information net, creating an unparalleled and expedient exchange of knowledge and data for business, entertainment, and research.

Robots are now used in every day life and the development in artificial intelligence make them as intelligent as human, and even better. Some people fear robots and conflict arise between them. Robots wants to be recognize as normal citizen like human being are. Some robots exterior are so well refined, that it his often hard to distinguish a robot from a human.

Cyborgs have also evolve a lot. Because of the new sources of energy, cyborgs do not need to recharge their cybernetics part very often and miniaturization allow them to have a wide range of feature from their electronic parts. Most cyborgs does not look like half robot anymore because synthetic skins or genetically manipulated skins can cover easily cybernetic parts.

Geneticians have completely master DNA and can create any kind of creature they want. They concentrate on creating hybrid human able to survive in deep space and on new planets discovered for colonization.
