Editing Technological Era

[[File: Wiki Navy.png|right]]
The [[Technological Era]] is a complete cycle of a [[sophont]] [[civilization]].
* It is symbolically represented by thirty [[Technology Level]]s or 30-[[TL]]s.
* It is represented by three tech periods and a transitional tech epoch. 
* After the era ends, [[researcher]]s speculate that only the quest for the [[Singularity]] remains.
* [[Final State]]s after this stage become increasingly existential and unknowable. Many abandon corporeal existence altogether. Such beings are only known by their ruins and [[artifact]]s.
