Technology Etc.. (question)

So I'm running this original freeform RPG, in which I'm working on a storyline that might be getting rather big. Problem is though, that the players could need a clearer idea of what the technology is like, and I haven't been able to come up with much usefull stuff.

Parts of the game universe has some rather high level stuff, about on the level of traveling between universes is possible. Another point is that technology and 'magic' exist more or less side by side, various races prefering one-- or sometimes both.

So I thought that I should ask you if you had any ideas for original science fiction technology, that I might use in the game. I think that I remember seeing threads on a similar topic here before. Ideas for weapons/military type tech may be the easiest, but anything would be welcome.


Sorry if I'm unclear, I'll try to explain better if you need that. And credit will be given of-course.

For ideas on this count, you might consider going to a game shop and looking at a few GURPS books. I remember the general nature of the game can skip between fantasy and scifi very quickly, and there are most definately sourcebooks on how to combine the two.

"Personnel" companies raising zombies as cheap labor, dragon-led assault or spy missions, magic carpet bombers or transports, and self-aware computers being used as familiars are all possibilities here.
