Technology
Creator Tech is so advanced that what it does is akin to magic. There is also a general level of technology shared among most of the civilized systems called Merge tech, which is often built on top of, or powered by, Creator Tech.
Each galaxy has different levels of tech, from primitive races to highly-advanced civilizations. Generally, the longer ago a system was discovered, the more its technological development mirrors the "current" tech of the Hub, thanks to the Merge's generous approach to information sharing.
The most advanced tech is at the Hub, since it has access to almost everything that every discovered race has built.
