The Age of Enlightenment
The age when the battles between barbarian civilizations ended and a great empire was forged. It was created to bring peace and enlightenment to all species across the galaxies, respecting their differences and each one's individuality.
A strong a wise council of sentients was formed to govern the empire, deciding on the best course of action to benefit the majority of all species. For many generations lasting thousands or maybe hundreds of thousands of years, civilization prospered like no other time.
Science, technology, medicine, robotics, arts, literature, everything that could improve the life of sentients and bring joy to their lives was reaching new heights under the gentle guidance of the Empire. But it wouldn’t last forever.

The tales of this old glorious past are a farce. There was no enlightened Empire, which brought peace and prosperity to all, but the greatest of all dictatorships, with a terrible and cruel tyrant that kept all under his spell.

We just have to figure out where this lost technology is buried.
