Heir to the Empire/Trivia
Trivia about Heir to the Empire includes:
- Abusing the Kardashev Scale For Fun and Profit: The Silver Millennium, as seen in flashbacks, is a solid Type II. As a polity, they controlled a significant fraction of the galaxy. They possessed world-destroying weapons that make the Vorlons look weak and inefficient -- and used them in war when the enemy deserved it. And they had access to magic as well as technology. Finally, Queen Serenity by herself qualifies as a high Type 0, being personally able to generate energy blasts in the 2.75 terawatt range.
