The following is an overview of the Tiering System for Civilization and Race profiles, designed to classify them based on their level of technological advancement and territorial dominion.

The Scale

Pre-Industrial Civilization: A civilization which has yet to undergo significant technological advancements, and lacks access to things such as electricity, industries, fuel based transports, etcetera

Post-Industrial Civilization: A civilization that can harness energy sources such as electricity, coal, wind, nuclear power and endothermic energy. Typically has developed technologies at the very least comparable to 18th - 19th Century Earth, or even slightly superior to current 21st Century Earth.

Planetary Civilization: A civilization which has obtained total dominion and control over its home planet, uniting all continents and nations under one government. Typically possess technology which is notably more advanced than our own.

Stellar Civilization: A civilization with dominion over its planetary system and even its parent star, being capable of inhabiting most if not all planets of its home system, and thus a technology far superior than our own.

Interstellar Civilization: A civilization whose territory extends throughout multiple star systems, being capable of colonizing distant worlds, and possessing truly futuristic technology, such as spaceships with Faster-than-Light travel, and weapons whose potency render our technology wholly irrelevant.

Galactic Civilization: A civilization whose territory extends throughout most, if not all of its home galaxy, containing many thousands if not millions of planets united under one government. Typically possesses means of Massively FTL+ travel, and technology capable of terraforming and destroying planets.

Intergalactic Civilization: A civilization which controls not only its home galaxy, but numerous other galaxies as well, all united under one government.

Universal Civilization: A civilization which possesses control over their entire universe, or at least a significant portion of it. These beings are typically indistinguishable from gods, and are often “Precursor” type races which seeded life all throughout the universe

Multiversal Civilization: A civilization of such power that their dominion extends beyond their home universe, instead spreading throughout multiple other universes throughout the multiverse. Potentially, they may rule over the entire multiverse.

Transcendent Civilization: Civilizations / races who control the totality of existence, on a level so complete they are effectively all-powerful. The technology of such a civilization is completely unexplainable by our understanding of physics. Going beyond even multiversal civilizations.
