Industrial Tech
Industrial Tech is the third tier of the 13-tier technology system — electrification, telecommunications, atomic energy, and the beginning of modern physics. In the Natura universe, this is where the timeline diverges from real history through Clan Tho'ra intervention and the recovery of Suppressed Energy Technology.
Overview
| Classification | Details |
|---|---|
| Tier | Type 0 (Local Civilization) |
| Era | ~1800s – 2020s (real-world approximate) |
| Key Innovations | Electrification, telecommunications, atomic energy, computing |
| Psionic Status | Suppressed but re-emerging — recovery begins |
Key Technologies
- Electrification: Power grid, electric motors, lighting — energy distribution at scale
- Telecommunications: Telegraph, telephone, radio, television, internet — information at distance
- Atomic energy: Nuclear fission — first access to sub-atomic energy
- Early computing: Vacuum tubes → transistors → integrated circuits → early digital networks
Suppressed Energy Technology
Main article: Suppressed Energy Tech
The critical Natura concept: technologies that should have advanced humanity but were systematically buried:
- Zero-point energy discoveries
- Electrogravitic research (T. Townsend Brown, Project Winterhaven)
- Advanced propulsion concepts
- Consciousness-technology interfaces
- The Nefarium is the primary suppressor — maintaining humanity at a controllable tech level
Timeline Divergence
The point where the Natura narrative departs from real history:
- Clan Tho'ra intervention — recovery and development of suppressed technologies
- Jono Tho'ra begins personal R&D on suppressed energy systems
- First Sub Techs recovered: early Electrogravitic Tech, Plasmoid Tech
- The Cabal's grip at its strongest, but cracks forming
