Re ErhnamDJ: We'll need a pilot, doctor would be good to have, some scientific skills wouldn't hurt.

By the guidelines of Ultra Tech pp.6-7, Tech level is level is TL 10, tweaked as necessary to make the story work. Computing technology is early TL 10 (volitional AIs are too big to fit on a man-sized chasis). Faster than light travel exists as described above. Artificial gravity exists in sophisticated forms, including gravity-based weapons and tractor beams. Weapons designers are experimenting with force fields, though they're not widely deployed. Humans are by default reluctant to use technologies that would radically alter society, when a group embraces such technologies, it sets them apart from the rest of human society.
