Technology of the Silver Millennium

Technology during the silver Millennium was fairly unique compared to any other in the history of the solar system. Eschewing traditional energy sources as well as structures, what was classified as technology at the time is what nowadays would be most often called magitek. Although each planet has its own unique features in regards to their specific technologies they were often shared characteristics as well. Below are merely a few examples to be considered.

Transportation

Most ground transportation on the planets tended to be fairly low Tech, relying on ridden animals for the most part. There were however of course exceptions on planets in which the environment was too hostile or incapable of supporting ground animals such as mercury or Neptune, machines were often used.

The most astonishing of their transportation technology however was that used in Stellar spacecraft. Will not always consistent across the board most spacecraft utilize the system which drew upon the magical properties of the Aeria, an energy source produced by the living Souls of planets and stars. Using this power, vessels could Traverse the stars at speeds undreamt-of by modern Minds, as well as produce compact atmospheres for the ships in flight. Examination of the engine systems by modern eyes show how advanced these systems could be as many these engine layouts would make little to no sense compared to most other machines. This was common for the both the private yachts of the royal families as well as the giant battle ships of the Imperial Navy.

Computers

One of the few things that the Silver Millennium had in common with the modern day was the use of computers. However, outside it's name, that's where the similarities end. Many of the computers utilized by the kingdoms operated using specially grown crystalline lattices, that when analyzed, they almost gave the appearance of organic brain cells. This structure in turn allowed for the preservation of whole personalities, in fact, as can be seen with the Moon Computer, which for a time contained the memory and personality patterns of the late Queen Serenity. While there are plenty of examples of large scale computing systems ranging from the data fields within the Kantek Ruins to the grand Mercurian Logic Brains, the manner in which the data is store within the fragments allowed engineers and data sages to create miniaturized machines small enough to fit in the palm of one's hands. The one weakness within these computers were the fact that the crystals were still fairly fragile, requiring them to be stored within specially prepared metallic cases. There were exceptions to the rules, of course, such as the Saturnians who utilized liquid filled crystals to carry their data.
