Tech Level Benchmarks

    I have asked my players to flesh out some alien species that I rolled up using Aina's Aliengen program. In turn, I have been asked by my players to present benchmarks for tech levels so they have an idea what they are dealing with.
    The following terms are used in the table headings.
    SAGE TL is the tech level for my system. It is loosely based on the 3G3 (Guns, Guns, Guns! 3rd edition) TL scale so I can use the said product to make weapons for my game. The TL of humanity in the game is 14-18.
    Aina's TL is the TL listed on the alien prinouts made with Aliengen.
    Era is the approximate timescale in the Guild Space future history for human development. You will not that the technology-time curve is S-shaped.
    Weapons, Power, Transport, Materials, Biotechnics, and Computer all categories of technological development. Some variance may exist between the TLs in some categories for some races.
