Description[edit]

The Kardashev scale is a method of measuring a civilization's level of technological advancement, based upon the total energy-usage of a civilization. The scale is exponential and hypothetical, and regards energy consumption on a cosmic scale. It was proposed in 1964 by Nikolai Kardashev, and then modified in 1973 by Carl Sagan, which is the scale that we use.

The purpose of this wiki is to include an exhaustive list of sapient human and alien civilizations, with an attempt to classify their origins, existence, technologies, computing level, energy usage, longevity, travel, possibility of extinction, and so on. When categorizing civilizations, we take into account factors such as data-usage, travel capabilities, and sub-type predictions, in addition to energy-usage.

This wiki is a fusion of real science, hypothetical science, and futurism. There are many futures, or infinite futures, so grab a chair and enjoy this content with an open mind.

Commercially published books, movies, or games must be cited, and links to their Fandom-pages are encouraged. Fiction is allowed, but must feel like a natural extension, and not contradict a pre-existing page. Alternatively, content can be taken from established fiction and/or non-fiction.
