Tier Rating System

The Tier Rating System is a hypothetical tier system to distinguish various civilization from one another and give human history itself a classification. It is based on Five Tiers of rating and has various standards.

### Type Zero Civilization - Industrial

A Type 0 Civilization is a civilization in it's infancy and would include civilizations that worship various gods and practice early medicine such as blood leeching and other primitive medicine. They often are rudimentarily industrial.

Type 0 A - Early Civilization, Species exists in basic civilizations that are basic agrarian (Iron Age)

Type 0 B - Moderately Developed Civilization - Species develop centralized governments consisting of Kings, Emperors, or Governors and begin to show signs of trade using currency and begin early forms of manufacturing (Bronze Age through Steel Age)

Type 0 C - Developed Civilization - Species is capable of harnessing energy effectively to begin to build up cities and begin developing qualities like a more powerful centralized government and begin to practice more advanced medical techniques.

The Type Zero is often considered the Great Buffer for species that either advance or go extinct.

### Type 1 Civilization - Atomic and Spacial

A Type 1 civilization is a species capable of using the available energy on their planet and are capable of exploring other exoplanets and develop technology such as ion drives. During this time their population is expected to either boom to maximum stable levels. During this period they are likely to send satellites and early space craft into space and access their own exoplanets. They are capable of harnessing the power of the atom. During this period they begin to colonize other solar bodies within their home system.

### Type II Civilization - Planetary

A Type II Civilization is considered space faring in a limited fashion and have a well defined area around their home world and are capable of rapidly moving planet to planet rapidly using a form of FTL Drives they often go extinct during this expansion due to over-use of resources or new diseases.

### Type III Civilization - Interstellar

A Type III Civilization is classified as a civilization that has expanded into multiple star systems are have colonized multiple star systems and have begun to harness anti-matter and begin to develop more advanced weapons. Understanding of Galaxy is still primitive.

### Type IV Civilization - Intergalactic

A Type IV Civilization is a species capable of harnessing all the energy of a solar system and are capable of exploring and colonizing most worlds in the Galaxy their technology may appear impossible to Type II and below. They are often believed to result in the extinction of other species in rapid expansion.

### Type V Civilization - Extragalactic

A Type V civilization is a species that has expanded beyond normal space and are believed to have overcome traditional physical barriers that humans understand and are capable of easily moving through regular space and harness the under and inner space to travel rapidly. They are also capable of creating massive wormholes to explorer other galaxies.

### Type Omega Civilization - Universal

A Type Omega is the hypothesized "God" Species that is powerful enough to harness the energy of entire galaxies and are believed to be powerful enough that they are the creators of the Universe itself.
