Welcome to the Kardashev Scale Wiki
The Kardashev scale is a method of measuring a civilization's level of technological advancement, based on the amount of energy a civilization is able to use for communication. The scale is hypothetical and regards energy consumption on a cosmic scale. It was proposed in 1964 by the Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev.
The purpose of this wiki is to include an exhaustive list of existing and fictional civilizations with an attempt to classify their types, possible technologies, energy usage, longevity, possibility of extinction, and so on. This is an initiative of the "Kardashev Scale Theory Facebook Group".
Civilization categories of the scale:
| Type 0 | K0 | Pre-planetary | Extracts its energy, information and raw materials solely from planetary resources |
| Type I | K1 | Planetary | Can use and store the equivalent of all of the energy which reaches its planet from its parent star |
| Type II | K2 | Stellar | Can harness the total energy equivalent of an entire star's output |
| Type III | K3 | Galactic | Can control energy equivalent on the scale of an entire galaxy |
| Type IV | K4 | Universal | Can control the energy equivalent of its home universe |
| Type V | K5 | Multiversal | Can escape their universe of origin and explore the multiverse |
| Type VI | K6 | Megaversal | Can exist in an infinite amount of simultaneous multiverses and outcomes |
| Type VII | K7 | Omniversal | Traveler of all universes, multiverses, megaverses. |
