You've got your caveman feral worlds
Your knightly fuedal worlds (as in the ones on horses)
and every type of cultural expy out there from mongol horsemen to viking savages and so on
I guarantee there are 21st century era civilized worlds too.
That and I would love to see if Talos hobbies in his spare time is as an archeologist and historian. Not just of technology but of the cultures they came from. A number of techpriests do such things, and it would endear us to Malcador.
One thing I like about the Solar Auxilia is that they hearken unto the Dark Age of the Federation, and our Lucian Federation is trying to claim succession. Rather than decry it as an ill time, we are able to separate the good and the bad, furthermore in this setting the knowledge of the Men of Iron appears to be known rather than forgotten as with 40k.
So if we're trying to call ourselves a renewed Federation, maybe we could take it a step further. Now that we have Tehcnomancy, imagine if we could but find even a single pict feed of a proper Federation Explorator and replicate his gear? The best of the best human technology out there given to all but the richest and most daring space explorers, that make even ignatus artificier armor pale in comparison.
Armorglass helmets and body armor far stronger than the adamantine alloy void armor, backed up by dark age personal shield generators.
Proper rayguns that make Volkites and Eradicator beams look like the farming pest control tech that they surely are, powered by microbreeders that need no reload.
Highly active machine spirits both in the helmet and in the man to ensure he can fight even with the worst the galaxy has to throw at them.
If we could but arm even a few of our best acillians or best human auxilia in Federation Era hero gear, or maybe even ourselves, that would be a proper display of our gift from the machine god and a true sign we have been blessed by him. I think it would go well with the Emperor since he's trying to do the same with the Solar Auxilia and wanted to reserve Adrathic destructors to his Custodes.
The Solar Auxilia use 30k tech and scraps to try and ape at a better time. What if we just brought that better time back to life, even for a few examples? Not simply a relic here or an artefact there, but a full set.
