Scale For Civilizations

Empires within the universe are weighed using the Kardeshev Scale. 
The Kardashev scale is a theoretical framework proposed by the Russian astrophysicist Nikolai Kardashev in 1964 to categorize civilizations based on their energy consumption and technological advancement. It provides a method of classifying civilizations on a logarithmic scale ranging from Type 0 to Type 8, each level representing increasingly advanced stages of development.
=== Type 0 Civilization: ===
A Type 0 civilization harnesses energy primarily from fossil fuels and basic renewable sources such as wind and solar power. It has not yet fully harnessed the energy resources of its home planet and remains confined to its planetary boundaries.
=== Type I Civilization: Planetary Civilization ===
A Type I civilization has achieved mastery over its home planet and can harness and control all available energy sources on a planetary scale. It can manipulate weather patterns, harness the energy of earthquakes and volcanoes, and sustainably manage its resources. Interplanetary travel and colonization may be within its reach.
=== Type II Civilization: Stellar Civilization ===
A Type II civilization has expanded its influence beyond its home planet and can harness the energy output of its host star. It may construct Dyson spheres or similar megastructures to capture and utilize a significant portion of the energy radiated by its star. Interstellar travel and colonization of nearby star systems become feasible.
=== Type III Civilization: Galactic Civilization ===
A Type III civilization has advanced to the point where it can harness the energy of an entire galaxy. It can manipulate the movement of stars, create and control wormholes for intergalactic travel, and potentially communicate and interact with other advanced civilizations across vast distances.
=== Type IV Civilization: Universal Civilization ===
A Type IV civilization has transcended the confines of a single universe and can harness the energy of multiple universes or even the multiverse itself. It has achieved mastery over the fundamental laws of physics and can manipulate spacetime on a cosmic scale.
=== Type V Civilization: Multiversal Civilization ===
A Type V civilization exists beyond the bounds of individual universes and can navigate and manipulate the fabric of the multiverse. It may inhabit multiple universes simultaneously and possess technology and knowledge far beyond human comprehension.
=== Type VI Civilization: Omniversal Civilization ===
A Type VI civilization encompasses and transcends all possible universes and multiverses, existing as a singular entity across all of reality. It may wield godlike powers and govern the very fabric of existence itself.
=== Type VII Civilization: Transcendent Civilization ===
A Type VII civilization represents the pinnacle of existence, transcending all known boundaries of reality and consciousness. It exists as a timeless, omnipotent entity, beyond the comprehension of mortal beings.
=== Type VIII Civilization: Hypothetical Civilization ===
A Type VIII civilization represents a purely theoretical concept, beyond the limits of human understanding. It may exist as a hypothetical endpoint of cosmic evolution, embodying the ultimate expression of intelligence and existence.
As humanity continues to advance technologically and explore the cosmos, the classification of civilizations based on the Kardashev scale provides a framework for understanding the potential trajectories of intelligent life in the universe.
