Transcendent Sophonts are are able to transcend many to most of the rules of Space-time. While not as advanced as Ascendant Sophonts, their technology is paradigms ahead of an ultra society or the TL:10-18 societies of Charted Space.

  • They are conjectured to be a extremely advanced form of life possessing TL:28-30 technology.
  • They are heading for the Singularity and existence as a post-technological lifeform, as post-sophont.
  • Some think that the Kursae might have reached this level.
  • Some call such beings Space Gods.

Description (Specifications)

Ultra Societies at TL:19-27 to more conventional TL:10-18 Interstellar Societies, if a bit strange. But transcendents are strange even to them. One of the key halmark conjectured of these societies is the practical mastery of transdimenional technologies, which is to say mastery over portals, alternate universes, and pocket universes.

Such technology largely allows a society to transcend normal space-time limitations of space and even astrophysical constraints. A ear unlimited number of branes or alternate universes are believed to exist and even if one of those practically unlimited ones doesn't meet the hims of a transcendent species, a new pocket universe can always be foaled from the space-time continuum. They lack the true mastery of pocket universes that ascendants possess, but can practically use and create pocket universes, mini-verses if one will.

Their technology is known as Dei-Tech and are astrodeific technologies with not only a universal scope, but the ability to travel beyond the bounds of the universe. They are known as Kardaschev Type 4 societies with Universal Mastery.

History & Background (Dossier)

Many call these hypothetical beings Astrodeities or space gods as they are incredibly difficult for earlier societies to understand. Their ability to transverse nearly every obstacle of distance or location truly makes them masters of the Trans-galactic Epoch, effectively a transdimensional society.

Technology develops capabilities to manipulate worlds and stars: to move them, harvest them for their matter and energy, and convert them to other large scale objects. The ability to visit other universes changes society profoundly. Entirely different astronomical environments engenders new viewpoints.

Transcendent Artifacts

Transcendent artifacts are considered to be astrodeific objects, in the TL:28-30 range. They are difficult to conceptualize, let alone recover, and are also known as Dei-Tech.

Transcendent Achievements

Some of the conjectured miracles of the Transcendents include:

  1. Bound Drives capable of tens of thousands of parsecs of travel
  2. Nano Mastery
  3. Near Unlimited Matter Transport
  4. Pocket Universe Creation
  5. Planet-busters
  6. Portal Mastery
  7. Rigid Dyson Spheres
  8. Ringworlds
  9. Rosettes
  10. Six Drives capable of millions of parsecs of travel
  11. Sophont Creation Mastery
  12. Planet-bending Mastery (World-Bending)
  13. Transdimensional Drives capable of travelling to alternate dimensions
  14. Vault Drives capable of hundreds of thousands of parsecs of travel
