 Space craft, or even whole cities, made of force fields, changing the orbits of worlds and even controlling the output of stars is not unheard of. This is the realm of super science.

-Technology beyond this is possible, but examples are not given here.
+A TL 20 society is considered to be a Type II civilisation on the [[wp>Kardashev Scale]]. They have full control of the resources of a whole star system. At TL 20 and above, a civilisation is building Ringworlds and Dyson Spheres, and can routinely manipulate stars to control their energy output.
+There are few campaign settings which will have common instances of TL 20+ technology, since it is difficult to imagine without losing the essence of what it is to be human.
+===== Lords of the Galaxy (TL 30-39) =====
+At TL 30, a civilisation has reached Type III on the [[wp>Kardashev Scale]], manipulating the very structure of galaxies. There are few cultures in any form of science fiction that are at this level of technology.
+===== Lords of Time (TL 40+) =====
+At TL 40+, Type IV civilisations have control over the whole of time and space. The Xeelee or the Time Lords would be the best known examples.
