The '''Kastellian civilisation''' refers to the civilisation who took over the [[Kastel-Knia]] star system and a few other systems in its neighborhood. They originated from the [[Kastel]] planet.

The Kastellian civilisation is divided in two main eras. The antique era and the modern era the main event separating both eras is the merge.

=== Old Ages ===
The Kastellian civilization emerged 474 million galactic years after the Big Bang. The first ever community was name Tenelika, they were the only community at that time but they spoke their own language. They had to left their homeland when the '''initial drought''' hit, which led them to divide to a few other communities like the Nekatrims who went to eastern places and Latinikees who went much northern. Tenelikas came back later after the drought and settled back on a more sustainable foundation.


=== The Nekatrim community ===
=== The Nekatrim community ===
The Kastellian civilization emerged 474 million galactic years after the Big Bang. They were divided in several autonomous communities with their own development, language and culture. One of them, the Nekatrim community made a breakthrough that settled them to increase their progress rate. As their knowledges over their world increased, they quickly learned how to make use of their planet's energy. They carved learning and gathering knowledges on their environment but their body and their brain couldn't handle so much learning, causing degenerative illnesses. They decided to bring their mind into a simulated environment where their individual knowledges could grow without limit.

Fossil fuels didn't existed on Kastel-Knia so their only power sources was either biomass, geothermy, solar, or nuclear power.
Fossil fuels didn't existed on Kastel and [[Krates Acestas]] so their only power sources was either biomass, geothermy, solar power.
 
==== Biomass energy ====
Biomass energy was the main powersource used on Krates Acestas as its vegetation produced alot of hydrocarbon that could be burnt in order to extract energy.
 
==== Geothermic energy ====
Geothermy was rather rarely used outside of remote areas in Kastel-Knia.
 
==== Solar energy ====
Solar power sources were most common sources used before the merge. Nekatrims and Latinikees improved it with orbital concentraton arrays.
 
==== Nuclear fission energy ====
Nuclear fission was well known but considered useless before the early energy outages preceding the merge. Powerplants has been deployed and were using nuclear fuels as much as they could with breeder designs.
 
==== Nuclear fusion energy ====
Fusion nuclear power belonged to Latinike community. They deployed a large amount of stellarator based fusion reactors on their territory and added a lot more when the merge began. First generation fusion reactors only fuse hydrogen isotopes but second generation and third generation were able to use helium and heavier nuclei as fusion fuels. Those also required less maintenance, making second generation the most deployed type of power source on Kastel.
 
=== Information Technologies ===
Nekatrim community was by far the most prominent in this domain. They use various tricks derived from quantum physics to get as close as the physical limits of computing, with an insance efficiency. Their most deployed compute technology makes use superconducting quantum junctions to build self-clocked, asynchronous processors. Those needs to be supercooled to achieve superconductivity and reduce noise as much as possible.
 
=== Cryogeny ===
Nekatrim cryogenic technologies made use of reversed quantum tunneling to improve thermodynamic pumping within their cryocoolers.

Kastellians spoke the [[Kallestiyes]] as a language, their writing system has been recovered and is now well known but their phonetics is still subject to discussion.
