Type II

A Type II or K2 civilization has control over their solar system, and may be able to harness all the power available in a single star. It extracts fusion energy, information, and raw-materials from multiple solar systems; it is capable of evolutionary intervention, interstellar travel, interstellar communication, stellar engineering, terraforming, and star cluster-scale influence; the resulting proliferation and diversification may negate the probability of extinction.

Detail
Energy usage: 1026 W to 1036 W. Total usage is the same as Type I multiplied across star systems. In addition: Dyson sphere, Star lifting, Dark Energy reactors, Industrial antimatter production and containment, magnetricity

Estimated Population: 100 Quadrillion (1017) people

Existence is in 4d (awareness of 5d) and 1r (reality)

Travel: faster than light devices, wormholes

Quality of life (government):


 * Adhocracy - flexible, adaptable, multidisciplinary government ideally suited to interstellar sprawl. Opposite to bureaucracy.
 * Post-scarcity utopia - achieved once the species is beyond interstellar barbarism and has settled into sophonce.

State of forms: hive minds (surrogacy or avatar)

WMD scale: Trinity project, monopole enhanced nuclear weapons

Longevity: 350 – 500+

Social issues:


 * Artificial Planet creation
 * Synthetic Life and possible AI dominance
 * Avatar prostitution
 * Manipulating the cultural focus of other species
 * Alien Propaganda
 * Trans-dimensional WMD
 * Dyson spheres
 * Dimensional portals
 * Transhumanism

Industrial revolutions: Warp portal, Dyson sphere, Galactic Exploration

Arguments: Synthetic life, Spacer psionics

Dominant proliferation: dimensional miscegenation cults, unified trans-human society

Social weakening: dimensional fallout or hyper radiation where dimensionally alternate 2d has disastrous effects on health (solution – Avatar allowing re-hosting of the contaminated)

Social dream: Eden or religiously motivated megastructure projects

Class system: Ideology meaning the general availability of superiority makes your motivations and commitments a value set
