	Espionage Technology: Using this technology, Information about other planets can be obtained.
	Computer Technology: The higher the level of computer technology the more slots you have for your fleet. Every additional level of this technology increases the number of slots by 1.
	Weapon Technology: This kind of Technology increases the efficiency of your weapons systems while every additional level of weapon technology adds another 10% of Power to the base weapon power of any available weapon.
	Shielding Technology: Shield technology is used to generate a protective particle shield around your structures. Every level of this technology increases the effective shielding by 10% ( based on the base level of a given structure).
	Armour Technology: Highly sophisticated alloys are helping to increase the armoury of a ship by adding 10% of strength per level to the base strength.
	Energy Technology: By understanding the technology of different kinds of energy, many new and advanced technologies can be adopted. Energy Technology is of great importance to a modern research lab.
	Hyperspace Technology: By incorporating the fourth and fifth dimension into the propulsion technology, a new kind of propulsion system can be made available - one that is more efficient and uses less fuel than conventional ones.
	Combustion Drive: Performing research in this technology provides for ever faster combustion engines, although every additional level only increases the speed by 10% of the base speed of a given ship.
	Impulse Drive: The impulse engine system relies on the principle of particle repulsion. The repulsed matter thereby actually is waste generated by the fusion reactor used to generate the necessary energy for this kind of propulsion engine.
	Hyperspace Drive: Hyperspace engines actually allow to enter hyperspace through a hyperspace window in order to massively shorten traveltime. Hyperspace is an alternative space with more then 3 dimensions.
	Laser Technology: Laser technology is an important basic knowledge that leads to monochromatic light tightly focused onto the target. The damage is light to moderate depending on the power of the beam.
	Ion Technology: Ion weapon technology focuses a beam of accelerated ions onto the target which can create big damage due to their electron-charged nature.
	Plasma Technology: Going further than the established ion technology, plasma powered weapons use accelerated plasma bolts which in turn can create huge damage to their targets.
	Intergalactic Research Network: This is your deep space network to communicate researches to your colonies. With the IRN, faster research times can be achieved by linking the highest level research labs equal to the level of the IRN developed. In order to function, each colony must be able to conduct the research independently.
	Expedition Technology: The Expedition Technology includes several scan researches and allows you to equip different spaceships with research modules to explore uncharted regions of the universe. Those include a database and a fully functional mobile laboratory. To assure the security of the expedition fleet during dangerous research situations, the research modules have their own energy supplies and energy field generators which creates a powerful force field around the research module during emergency situations.
	Graviton Technology: The graviton is an elementary particle that mediates the force of gravity in the framework of quantum field theory. The graviton must be massless (because the gravitational force has unlimited range) and must have a spin of 2 (because gravity is a second-rank tensor field). Graviton Technology is only used for one thing, for the construction of the fearsome DeathStar. Out of all of the technologies to research, this one carries the most risk of detection during the phase of preparation.
