* How did you think Mid-Childa became the dominant power in the Nanoha-verse. I mean, Velkan technology seemed more advanced in so much as modern Mid-Childan technologies still fail to grasp some Velkan originated stuff (Unison Devices such as Rein and Agito are examples)
** The Velkan homeworld was lost to an unspecified magical accident, and then the remaining Velkan peoples ripped each other apart in a massive civil war. The civilization quite literally destroyed itself. Now there's a couple hundred year gap in the history at this point, but Mid-Childa was the most powerful entity around after Velka's fall, and so gained dominance. Even the Mid-Childans don't seem to know what happened during that gap.
** Velkan technology isn't always more advanced so much as it is more... powerful. Agito's a good example... she's extremely powerful, but a bit persnickety and difficult to work with, and she doesn't sync quite right with anyone but Signum (who she was probably intended for originally). But also, look at the cartridge system... yes, it's very powerful, but it also puts much more delicate, advanced, and subtle devices like Raising Heart and Bardiche at threat of destruction because it just channels so much raw power, whereas Velkan devices are a little bit more straightforward and basic. (Bardiche and Raising Heart can actually have somewhat stilted conversations with their wielders, while Signum's sword seems to have the most personality of the Wolken's devices and the most it does is acknowledging a compliment from Fate/Bardiche with "Jawohl." at one point.) The tech working on them actually pleads with Bardiche and Raising Heart to not insist on using the Cartridge System because it could "kill" them. Between A's and StrikerS a lot of advances seem to have been made with integrating Velkan tech and Midchildan tech to let it have more of a balance of intelligence and power.
