Type III

A Type III civilization extracts fusion and exotic energy, information, and raw-materials from their galaxy. It is capable of intergalactic travel via wormholes, intergalactic communication via subspace, galactic engineering and galaxy-scale influence. By the time humans reach this state of the scale, they can be very hard to go extinct, as the saying "Too Big to Fail" starts to apply here.

This is the final type of civilization in the original proposal of the Kardashev Scale.

Detail

Energy usage	1036 W to 1046 W. Total usage is the same as Type II multiplied across galaxies. Collecting matter propelling outwards from white holes Instant mass/energy from Q-balls Tapping into cosmic events like: magnetars which release around 1037W novas which release around 1037W kilonovas which release around 1040W supernovas which release around 1044W hypernovas which release around 1045W
Scale	Dyson Sphere around every star in the galaxy Harvesting exotics from neutron stars and magnetars Conquering multiple galaxies
Population	1 nonillion (1030) people
Existence	5d (awareness of 6d) and 1r (reality)
Travel	Intergalactic through space lanes or artificial wormhole nexus networks or stargates.
State of form	Eventually projected energy and transcendentalism
WMD scale	Interphased bomb; black hole bombs and wormhole imploders
Longevity	500 - 1,000
Industrial revolutions	Matter replication at the quantum level
Sprawl	Dark space Trans-galactic
Social issues	Gaia planetary transformation Weaponized megastructure Xeno dark side Photonic AI Socio-cultural benevolence and sophonce Interspecies philosophy and breeding
Arguments	Photonic AI Augmented evolution and transapience Dominant proliferation: Nietzcheans or genetic superiority Social weakening: over exposure of dream twister (solution – molecular control/4d phasing to counter manifestations or psychological spirals via time internal communication or inner thoughts)
Social dream	Mantle of responsibility (self assumed stewardship over the balance of galactic power)
Class system	Emotive quality as a social lynchpin to reconsolidate group cooperation over an increasingly independent population

Sub-Type

Type	Description
3.0 Intergalactic Age	Power consumption: 1036 W to 1037 W First humans in other galaxies First physical contact with intelligent aliens from another galaxy Harvesting energy from pulsars Second-generation megastructures several times the size of a black hole
3.1 Telekinesis Age	Power consumption: 1037 W to 1038 W Travel to nearby galaxies Intergalactic space stations Telekinesis on a planetary level Partial colonization of intergalactic space
3.2 Satellite Age	Power consumption: 1038 W to 1039 W Colonization of nearby satellite galaxies. Made everything alive for the first time on an entire planet, including atoms.
3.3 Galactic Colonization Age	Power consumption: 1039 W to 1040 W Colonization of multiple galaxies. Made everything alive for the first time in a solar system.
3.4 Live Galaxy Age	Power consumption: 1040 W to 1041 W Colonization of more than 100 galaxies. Mastery over the lesser applications (without mixing methods for truly interesting results) of quantum mechanics. Advanced chronoception via implants. Made everything alive in the galaxy of origin.
3.5 Local Group Age	Power consumption: 1041 W to 1042 W Colonization of thousands to myriads of galaxies. This is where you become gods to lesser civilizations in your universe. Made everything alive in 10 galaxies
3.6 Supercluster Age	Power consumption: 1042 W to 1043 W Multiple superclusters colonized. Knowledge over most of the universe. Galaxies can be created. Made everything alive in 1000 galaxies
3.7 Supercluster Complex Age	Power consumption: 1043 W to 1044 W Millions of galaxies controlled. Superclusters are nothing but cities to such a civilization. The Pisces-Cetus Supercluster Complex is likely fully conquered or close to conquered. This is like a civilization at K0, scaled to the galactic level and their technology with it. Made everything alive in local group of galaxies
3.8 Parallel Age	Power consumption: 1044 W to 1045 W Billions of galaxies colonized. Compilation of every moment of the history of the universe in an Encyclopedia Cosmologica. Parallel Universe found but unable to access. Made everything alive in the super cluster of galaxies.
3.9 Universal Age	Power consumption: 1045 W to 1046 W Trillions of galaxies colonized. Most of the stars in the universe mapped. All of the universe has been seen, and almost all has been reached Much of the universe is alive and receptive to its source.
