Complete:
Human-Animal Hybrid Genetic Technology
	- This technology allows for the creation of true Human-Animal hybrids, who combine the intellect and cunning of humans with the aggressiveness and power of an animal.

Advanced Beam Weapons - 10KRP (Started Session 10 / 0 Turns Remaining)
	- Using ancient Unified Alliance Technology, we can produce beam weapons that are much more efficient than older weapon systems. Time to Completion: 2 Turns.

Personal Shielding - 1KRP (started Session 4/ 0 Remaining)
	- A personal shield can resist anything up to a nuclear weapon, and makes true "Mobile Infantry" possible. 6 Turns.

Advanced Human Machine Interface - 1KRP (Started Session 5-2/ 0 Remaining)

Galactic Network Sensor Upgrade - 0KRP (Started Session 5-2/ 0 Turns Remaining)
	- The Ancient Gate Network and Warp Boosters in the galaxy are controlled by a huge complex on the Ringworld. By tapping into this complex and its network infrastructure, it is possible to use the Gates as sensors to monitor all traffic within their sphere of influence, which is 80% of the Milky Way and much of the Magellanic Cloud. Total time: 3 Turns.

Degenerate Matter Reactor - 0KRP (Started Session 5-2/ 0 Turns Remaining)
	- Using observational data from the Machine Emissary, it is now possible to design Degenerate Matter Cores for spacecraft and Armors. These new cores produce much more energy and enable warp flight for almost all craft. Total time: 3 Turns.

FTL Raider - .3KRP (started Session 4/ 0 Remaining)
	- This ship actually can STOP ships in hyperspace, and drag them to a point for abduction; 4 sessions.

FTL Launcher - .3KRP (started Session 4/ 0 Remaining)
	- This allows you to build a network of FTL boosters to send craft to far off places (other Arms of galaxy), 4 Sessions.

Maxwell's Demon (Started Session 4/ 0 Remaining)
	- An innovative new heat management system that dumps heat into a controlled unit of warp space, this allows for ships to become larger without also increasing radiator size to extreme levels. Total Time: 3 Turns.

Pulsed Beam Cannon
	- ancient weapon technology that was reported in the original records as being effective against the Machines near the end of their war.

Ancient Database Decryption and Translation
	- The decryption and translation of the ancient race's databases. This provides access to the Advanced One's galactic Gate Network (covers 80% of the galaxy) and access to their weapon designs. Also the true name of the Ancients: the Unified Alliance.

Automation/AI Interfaces for Tanks
	- An automation system for tanks that allows it operate completely with an onboard AI, and no longer requires a biological crew.

Creation Engine-optimized Main Battle Tank Design
	- Modifications and redesigns for an MBT that lets them be produced easier, faster, and in whole by a Creation Engine of the appropriate size.

Creation Engine-optimization for Sabrina Specials and Starfighter Mk2's
	- Modifications and redesigns for the Sabrina Specials and Starfighters that lets them be produced easier, faster, and in whole by a Creation Engine of the appropriate size.

Creation Engine Update
	- Upgrade to the Creation Engine design. The upgrades provide better atomic fidelity, faster construction speeds, and for the creation of larger constructs.

Advanced Shielding
	- Basic research into advanced shielding technology. A requirement to survive the high radiation near the center of galaxies, and to enter the Machine zone near the center of the galaxy.

Gravity Jammer
	- The Gravity Jammer is a device that allows the projection of a negative mass field, forcing ships in warp to drop out of FTL and preventing most forms of FTL drive from operating. This can be tuned well enough to force a ship to come out of warp at a desired location.

Advanced Sensor Suite with Electronic Camouflage System (AS)
	- Improved sensors, also allows us to see through walls and doors, and a secondary function acts as a cloaking field

Boeing Global Satellite System
	- global network of 5 satellites. Used as spy sats, comm sats, and to receive the Resurrection Signal from employees who die.

Next Generation Particle Drive/Cannon (NGPD)
	- Across the board bonuses

Advanced Gun System (AGS)
	- Allows forces to fight at longer ranges

Advanced Network System (ANS)
	- Enables us to feel and understand other linked pilots’ minds and thoughts

Victory System (VS)
	- Allows us to cast off armor and transcend physical limits, but burns through available particles and energy

Orbital Laser System
	- Microwave Beam Cannon Satellite, capable of initiating orbital strikes, which just barely conforms to the new UN Space Warfare Treaty regulations concerning anti-ballistic missile defense satellites. Does take some time to move into position, however.

Obsolete Machine
	- Captured NK Remnant Armor. Research of the machine provided resistance to EM attacks for all Armors.

Global Security Initiative Surveillance System
 - enables complete monitoring of all Earth traffic by expanding on the existing Boeing Monitoring Suite; will be required to let others use this system sometimes.

Quantum Vacuum Drive (QVD)
	- Using research from the Warp Drive, you can produce Casmir Effect Engines, which use the energy inherent in vacuum to produce momentum. This means a spacecraft could head from Earth to Space with this new gravity drive, and even produce shields without an Aether Controller. This also would be applied to conventional ships and Armors, increasing durability and overall flight time.

New Map of Space (Virgin Galactic)

Ship-based Particle Shielding
	- Aether Particle Shielding designed to be equipped on warships

Generation Ship Interstellar Drive System

Repair System (Nanomachine self-repair system) -
- Basic system works on people
	- System for Armors
	- System for Drones
	- System for ships/spaceships

Captured Archangel-class Armor Alloy
	- Led to Imperial Armor Upgrade Kit. Improves resistance to biological and chemical attacks

Juggernaut-class Anti-Armor Armor (improved version of Colossus)

Next-Generation Fortress-class Gamma Asp
	- A Fortress-class version of the Asp Variable Geometry Armor

Creation Engine
	- further development of the Repair System allows for nanomachine assemblers to construct any manufactured product from the molecular level up, needing only energy and raw materials.
Improved Creation Engine research has allowed for greater atomic fidelity, larger Engine size, and a greater range of objects which can be built.

Quantum Computing
	- Improves R&D rate, provides bonus of +5 to EWAR and +2 to Aether Control

Small FTL Drive
	- FTL Warp Drives designed for cruisers and destroyers

FTL Drive Pre-Installation
	- All purchased spaceships will have an FTL Warp Drive pre-installed.

Bio-Mechanical Automated Terraforming System
	- A fusion of nanomachinery and genetically modified creatures, this system rapidly terraforms a planet. It is completely autonomous, using nanomachines and worker drones to collect raw materials to convert into more terraforming bio-machinery.

Foldspace Drive
	- Slow, reliable, and can be done only in outer space, but works well for point to point jumps in solar systems.

Alcubierre Warp Drive
	- Can be instantaneous, cheap, energy intensive, and requires a period for the ship to either discharge its particles or suffer potential catastrophic failures. Warp drives placed on external nacelles allow for more efficient generation of the warp bubble. Warp drives placed internally are better protected at the cost of lower efficiency and slower speeds.

Wormhole Drive
	- Fast, low energy, but without guidance you can go anywhere in the universe, making correct navigational calculations extremely important.

Wormhole Stargate Network
	- Fast and ultra low energy, but only connects to nodes where a gate has been established. Also the size of the ship is restricted to the size of the Gate.

Trans-Warp Drive
	- An American research project which allows for an internal warp field generator that does not compromise speed for the security of an internally mounted warp drive. It also is faster, more reliable, requires less maintenance (0 maintenance costs), and can travel up to 500 light-years without stopping.

Advanced Genetic Modification
	- New South American Network research into advanced genetic engineering.

Society Control System
	- New South American Network research which increases efficiency and societal planning of colonies.
	- +30RP per colony, faster colony development, +5 Bonus to Aether Control, ability to directly control non-pilots using Aether, even when out of an Armor.
