One of whom is higher than the other, and it isn’t the tech
By 0 BBT, I would have
BrightSpace Drive (Reverse Engineered and several manufactured, in two days)
Phase Shielding
Stealth Drive
Skip Drive (different from your jump drive, allows for quick bursts of ftl, shown in SCYSF, in the escape )
The Nexus (literal dimension of data, used by the Rosecordi for IFTL travel and to steal your data like Mark Zuckerberg but not a lizard man)
I would wager Rosecordi Scientists are some of the best non transapient scientists in the sector for their ingenuity, knowledge, and expertise to the fields they work in
Apart from other changes that others have pointed out (to which I agree by the way), Ryccia’s military should not be a Superpower. They have military technology equal to if not lower than Galactya’s, but also have only 62k warships, while Galactya has 165k as of 0 ABT.
That, in my opinion, would make them a Regional Power.
okay so we don’t go too far past the 500k mark generally speaking, at least now in the canon. Like, as a balancing rule, unless you have a really good reason for it, no more than 500k, and that has to be kinda justified somehow too

With respect to the Venterran Federation there are two main phases to take into account, the present Dormant phase and the Federation’s awakened state aka Great Purge footing.
The dormant phase is similar to Mav’s determination as the Federation’s isolationist nature hinders its cultural, diplomatic and economic relations with other star civilizations. That being said, the Federation is no slouch when it comes to their industrial, military and technology with an economy large enough to sustain one of the largest navies in the sector. So I would only bump up the Industrial, Military, and Tech to superpower. With respect to economy, it would be a regional power if foreign trade relations were included, but could be bumped up given its self sufficient nature. Although I’d rather err on the side of caution and leave it as a regional power.
An awakened federation on the otherhand is a hyperpower militarily, technologically, and industrially. The diplomacy of the federation of the Federation would suffer significantly as the Federation adopts a hardline and becomes almost uncompromising in their way. The Culture and economy of the Federation would also suffer as some may reject the Way or abandon the Way for approving tactics some would consider appalling, while simultaneously military raids against key Venterran worlds would harm the quality of life of the nomadic Venterrans and their planet based member species.
yeah let’s scratch the hyperpower thing. It’s unfair for any player nation to be a Hyperpower in any category, as it’s very unbalanced, and less fun for everyone. This applies even if it’s an “awakened” state or whatnot.
Secondly, I also don’t want to get into the discussion of what you would even have to be considered a technological and industrial hyperpower.
It’s going to take a bit of time, between rl (sucks but that’s life) and brainstorming a way to keep the Krekenai advance fun to read than just, they continue to push through the brave Trianar defenders.
