Contact - Contact - Limited

These are normally Pre-Ascent civilizations (or ascent imminent) of TL 2 to TL 3   with the concept of "Others" understood or expected  to cope with external contact. TL 3 civilizations may already engage in sub light space travel and research.

The Science Council via the Science Corps -Universal Anthropology Department - will issue Contact Level restrictions.
