my stories if any are long way off (years)

well the black bridge and the secure bone yard depot is mostly normal fleet tech. except passive and active stealth systems. (mostly innovative use of existing technology in a new way and some improvement) and the transportation system (the super hyper jump gates. mostly up scaled version of the normal gate with slight improvement and upgrades by fleet engineers using narth supplied TL8 ~ 9 hyperspace equations.)

yeah narth depot needs some serious re writes. the idea was meant to it to serve as high tech level research central and manufacturing.

and ark einstein is sadly currently non cannon.

the idea behind it was :

after ark einstein is lunched in around 2200 an series of incidents (final act/ result of Corporate War. all the mega corp agents are dead) drops the ark pretty damaged in the fringes of LEO II galaxy on an TL11+ machine society that at the time. the TL11+ society is responsible for some of the damage to the ark (the corp agents tried to attack the society and the society in self defence killed the agents, injured some of the normal passengers and damaged the ship some in addition to the damage caused by the agents) as penance they repaired and upgraded the ark, healed the injured (mainly cyberonics) those whose body could not be saved was offered one of two options 1) have their brain (all injured passengers brain was ok) put in a stasis tank till their own technology could heal them. or 2) have their brain incorporated in to the AI the society was building for the ark without loosing their personalities (build from salvaged tech of the makers with slight modifications) most injured whose body could not be saved chose option 2 as most of the passengers were scientists, engineers, explorers and adventurers.

also before sanding the ark on they loaded few "gifts" and items (mostly salvaged high TL items from dead society's that moved or resided in the local group. but also the lost libraries of Alexandria and Atlantis. with other historic items and books long though destroyed on earth)

after that they are sent on to far off galaxy. when they arrive they are in an pretty large area that hase no native sentient species but plenty good planets are easily terraformable. than one the "gifts" deployed covering the area (multiple star systems) in a temporal shield that causes temporal disparity. for every 1000 years inside the shield one year passes outside of it. it didnt truly worries the passengers of the ark as the area has fairly large number of garden worlds.

they live inside the shield for 3 million years (3000 years out side the shield) evolving in the process into an TL10+ society.
