Comlinks are small handheld devices similar in appearance to Earth beepers. They work similarly to walkie-talkies and allow for instant communication as long as the participants are on the same planet.

Holopads are handheld devices with screen sizes ranging from 5.4 inches to 13.2 inches and utilize hologram technology to send messages regardless of distance. They can also be used to play games, generate battle plans, be encrypted, and conduct meetings if the participants are in different locations. They are considered more advanced than comlinks and are also more expensive.

⟣ The Zulocron is a central database stationed on Canturi. All documented knowledge, known as Archives, can be found here. Only The Keepers have unrestricted access as they are the ones in charge of its upkeep and updating. High-ranking government members as well as high-ranking Luxn Order members, while not unrestricted, have higher access limits than the general public, who can only access the database through physically visiting the Zulocron or through their holopad.

Hovercraft and flycraft are commonplace throughout the galaxy. Aerotrains and aerobuses are used for public transportation. Aerocars and aerocabs are used on the more populated planets. The cheapest and most common are speeders as they are relatively easy to build or buy. Hoverchairs are used mostly for the elderly or otherwise impaired.

Portal Guns are considered the most expensive way to travel due to the dangerous mining methods and top materials used to make them reliable. They are mostly used by the elite and the government.

Starships are considered an advanced and elite way of traveling. To travel legally, both a permit and a licensed pilot is required. The types of starships currently in the market include shuttles, transport ships, freighters, yachts, starfighters, scout ships, gunships, assault ships, and a warship.

⟣ All craft are fitted with navigational devices that utilize coordinates. Some may be renovated with integrated holopads. All craft must also be registered with an ID code to be properly identified or risk confiscation.

⟣ Licenses are available as early as 15, though interplanetary travel isn't allowed until the age of 18.

⟣ Starships must be specifically modified with hyperdrives to travel at lightspeed, allowing for faster travel across systems and the galaxy.

The older "primitive" weapons of Earth like guns, swords, and other blades are still commonplace among the Earthborn and their descendants. The rest of the galaxy uses weapons that look similar but function using energy or plasma through the use of Nilonionite, which replaces bullets and takes much longer to be "reloaded", which is done by replacing the Nilonionite core every once in a while.

A unique weapon to the Xenari galaxy is the lightsaber, which is powered by Kyber crystals, connecting to the user's Kavana signature and igniting a plasma blade in a color that corresponds with their signature. These weapons are only wielded by those in The Luxn Order and The Obscura.

⟣ All Kyber crystals are naturally attuned to the positive side of Kavana, and while they may look different in appearance, will emit a blue or green plasma blade once attuned to a wielder and ignited in a lightsaber.

As wielders of the negative side of Kavana, The Obscura make their crystals "bleed" by cracking them, causing their lightsabers to emit a red hue. Depending on the severity of the crack, the plasma blade may become unstable and therefore harder to wield. The crystals can be "healed" if the wielder returns to the light, causing the blade to take on a yellow or orange hue.

Although rare, other documented colors are purple, teal, and pink. Even rarer are black and white, of which there are only 6 known users in total (3 for each).

When the first Earthborns arrived in the new galaxy, it was already much more advanced in their technology and science. Replacing hospitals are Medbays, which use advanced technology to assess and heal. There are formal doctors and physicians still, but many use holistic remedies to heal, only using technology for more severe treatments when needed. Things like cybernetics, droids, and androids are also commonplace.

Cybernetics refers to the replacement or enhancement of organs or other body parts with mechanical elements that mimic the original function and often surpass it. While robotic in nature, more advanced and expensive cybernetics are made to look like the original, leaving others unaware of the difference. While there is a legal process for this, there is also a huge black market.

⟣ Only licensed medical professionals on the planet Andarth can legally perform the surgeries needed to obtain cybernetics. Species come from all across the galaxy to get these surgeries when needed, under the careful eye of APOLLO LABORATORY.

Droids are very commonplace through the Thanolian System in workplaces and homes. They are generally used to clean and repair and tend to break down easily but are also easy to repair and replace when needed. They are purely robotic in appearance.

Clones are artificial duplicates of an organism that is genetically identical to the original. They are considered superior to both the droid and the android, yet also more dangerous, as they can innately think for themselves and control their own actions. Special chips are typically implanted in their brains to make them more docile and easier to control. As a result, clones are rarely seen, as many do not like the risks that come with them. APOLLO LABORATORY is currently the only legal means of creating clones.

Androids are a more advanced version of the droid, as they are made to look like a certain species, most commonly humans. They are most common on the planets Andarth, Canturi, and Bravidis, though they can be found elsewhere albeit rarely. NOVA CORP, the leading company in the android market, builds all legal androids. 

⟣ Although rare, androids can be hacked, damaged, or have a glitch that causes them to perform outside of their programming, labeling them as Rogue. They are considered dangerous by the Galactic Senate, however this has led many to believe that androids are sentient beings and should be treated equally to other species. These rogues are actively hunted and disposed of by NOVA CORP and law enforcement.

⟣ The current legal android types are as follows:
