Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda: Engineering

Commonwealth Engineering
science and technology

For new member species, the technology of the Commonwealth can seem rather extraordinary.

Ships that transit the stars.
Machines so tiny they can manipulate objects molecule by molecule.
Tools that alter the very code of life.

But while our scientists believe in the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake, they remain keenly aware of the larger implications of their research. How can they not? Every citizen of the Commonwealth has had their life improved by advanced technology and we look forward to sharing such advances with your world as well.

Toward that end, here are a few aspects of Commonwealth science and technology with which you may wish to familiarize yourself:

Short Basics - From Anti-Proton fuel to flexies. This document gives a short overview of many items.

Slipstream Technology - Explanation of how ships move from system to system.

Genetic Engineering - Many worlds make extensive use of this technology.
