Tech Availability

I have no idea what good speeds would be for traveling in this era, so I'll just put them in vague terms and in correspondence to each other.

Feel free to give them more detailed technologies, this is just a skeleton of what I think they should have.

Nomads: Gene altering drugs, given to children to promote intelligence and memory. Ships equipped with FTL drives and sub-light thrusters. Mining drones and manufacturing/refining ships. <lost serums that slow aging>

Empire Project: very long distance communications, FTL (1/9 Nomad speed) and sub-light thrusters, high caliber coil guns (rail guns with theoretically limitless projectile speed).

Solist Group: No FTL, only sub-light (1/2 others speed), besides their ships they're more or less at the same technological level that we are at now.

Colonist group: Nomad tech, very little FTL drives in possession

Immolators: Any tech that survives, if they survive as well.
