A simple definition of technology, "the application of conceptual knowledge to achieve practical goals," is very broad. It includes the first fires to the fusion reactors powering most cities. It includes the first notions of trade to ideologies united trillions. It includes folk medicine and advanced thaumaturgy.
Below are a list of technologies common in Cosmoria. Some of these technologies seem dated by 21st century standards, but the vast majority are more advanced. This page serves to paint a clear picture of everyday life, warfare, medicine, and other fields.

Atomic Weapons
Atomic weapons, sometimes called atomic bombs, nuclear bombs, nuclear weapons, nukes, or a-bombs, are a broad class of explosives drawing power from nuclear fission, fusion, or annihilation. Most modern atomic weapons use a combination of fission, fusion, and annihilation to bolster a fusion reaction within the bomb. These bombs fuse material far faster than the cores of even the hottest stars and, for brief periods of history, were a form of fusion energy.
A Nuclear Pumped Laser was once a common means for ground-based militaries to control the space around their planet, at the time creating a near impassable barrier by the technologies of the time. Modern spacecraft, however, are too numerous for this technology to be of much use. These beams convert the blast of a nuclear explosion into a x-ray laser beam that could cut through any material.
Marceum Bombs
Marceum Bombs are a class of atomic weapon that rely on degenerate matter, called Marceum, to create a miniature star far as long as several minutes. This class of weapon is by far the most energy dense, but great costs have limited their deployment.
Other Weapons
- Lasers (Cosmoria)
- A Laser is a beam of electromagnetic radiation used to great effect in not just warfare but manufacturing, chemistry, and art.
