Based on the Kardashev scale, [[human]] civilization is firmly a Type II civilization in the Elite universe. At least 2.4. | Based on the Kardashev scale, [[human]] civilization is firmly a Type II civilization in the Elite universe. At least level 2.4. This is evident with the following technological abilities and achievements of humans in the 33rd century: | ||

* Humans can travel in a higher dimensional region known as [[Hyperspace]]. | |||
* [[corporations|Corporations]] control countless companies which farm, mine and use entire planets and star systems for resources and food. This is done to produce basic goods which trillions of people use for their survival. Corporations have the technological capability and actively harness the energy of entire [[Star Systems|star systems]]. | * [[corporations|Corporations]] control countless companies which farm, mine and use entire planets and star systems for resources and food.
