Thank you great, great answer! So technology gap is not as wide as what I had thought - however, that is typical Imperial approach to stuffs. So libertarian. So laissez-faire. So no matter at all. And for the Photonic Network, yes, as expected, they are very advanced and closely following-up second to the Empire(I think biological civilization more advanced than machine one is a fascinating concept, to say the least).

The third is…probably Under-Blue-Star-League, I presume? They seem like totally liberal, free-thinking, research-oriented, possibly one of the most progressive civilization in this universe - at least before their decline(likely caused by internal conflict ultimately evolved to full-fledged civil war - or directly caused by social unrest?).

They are even using technological development as an important tool of social bonding(clannish scientific confederation=ingeniously awesome!) and still considered as one of the three Core Market Economy.

May spark of genius will always be with you.

Yes; I agree UBSL must be close third - in terms of economy and technology, at least.

In fact, considering everything, I fully expect CWE would boast the third-best technology. UBSL might haven been a close third, but their star has waned for a long time, and currently it is incapable of rivaling other Great Powers in any sphere.

Really, how far advanced CWE? Do Echelons have comparable, or even superior, technology with the Empire, at least in certain areas, such as military or mass fabrication?

Once again, I invoke authorial privilege when it comes to reserving information against appropriate timing and better ideas coming along, but I’ll throw you a bone:

The waserai are unquestionably the second-ranked military power of the Associated Worlds, and can be considered tech-equivalent with the Empire in conventional weapons/military technologies. (There are even ongoing joint development programs.)

…the same doesn’t apply to unconventional weapons, due to a certain conservative streak when it comes to mad scientists enthusiastic about hard-wiring their brains to moon-sized supercomputers.

The Photonic Network, on the other hand…oh yes.
