Most Human worlds now do not appear to be the abodes of a space faring civilization; since The Ruin most have only readvanced to a steam age industrial society, some are a little further ahead and some a little less.
The Silver Republic snatches up anything from the Golden Age it can find (seeking to monopolise as much as it can), as well as all the best physicists and engineers from other worlds. They have managed to relearn much of the science behind old technology, although some is just so advanced that it seems like magic. Even so the Republic and others have become quite proficient at reproducing most of what they've found and at making huge profits selling it on to those who still can't.
