Being a Raihan you had a natural distrust of AI. Technology was a useful tool but all decision making power must remain with a corporeal human. Glasner was not the best choice, but he was the most expedient. Like your sister you had a feeling you would have to make do with less than you deserved. Not for you, the bright minds and deep pockets of a major house… at least… not yet.
Shortly after you made the decision, you had Glasner attend to you.
“I have given you a lab and a team, now what will you give me?”
“W-well, my Lady. I began by looking at the existing schematics we already possessed and compiled a list of possible advancements we could pursue.”

Each possible technology has a research point cost associated with it. The various methods of research will grant you a certain number of d10s to roll. Every time an opportunity arises to deepen your understanding of a certain tech you will roll a number of d10s and the total will count towards its research point cost. After the research point total has been reached you will gain the technology. Generally excess research points are wasted although I may make allowances for techs that are closely related.
The full tech tree is not limited to what you see listed, the only true limit is my (and your) imagination. For practical reasons I need to present you with a curated list. If you’d like a certain type of technology to appear in the list of choices let me know and I’ll decide if I’ll allow it.
>Vote for what you want your R&D team to research next.
>Intermediate Fabrication (Enables full strikecraft manufacturing on capital ships as well as other industrial functions. RP cost: 60)
>Remote Effectors (Tractor beams. RP cost: 100)
>Basic Particle Beam Weapons (Unlocks capital class Ion Cannons RP cost: 40)
>Advanced Kinetics (More powerful and efficient kinetic weapons. RP cost: 60)
>Advanced Beam Tech (More powerful and efficient beam weapons, has potential non-combat applications too. RP:80)
>Refined Fusion Power (Smaller, more efficient fusion power plants enable you to do more with less. RP cost: 60)
>Advanced Scientific Sensors (Sensors optimised for analysing a target in detail rather than tracking it. RP cost: 40)
>Basic Shield Generators (Energy field projectors that negate incoming weapons fire. The basic versions work both ways so you can’t shoot when the shield is up. RP cost: 60)
>Stealth Composites (Enables sensor dampening features to be incorporated into designs, the first step on the road to true cloaking. RP cost: 40)
>Generic Neural Link (Allows organics to interface with machines, does not provide the same benefits as the Raihan version. RP cost: 40)
>Miniaturized Eigen Drives (FTL drives small enough to fit on strike craft. RP cost: 120)
