What is the tech beyond mortality for? is it for a tech victory or something? They have some pretty strange and powerful techs.

Also im curious if anyone knows what "The Bane" support module does. All it says is "Precursor artifact of unfathomable power" and only gives a +10 to the three threat levels.

Also is the Precursor hull reinforcement you get from it supposed to have 0 weight? Basically you could make near immortal ships with near unlimited hp for just a manufacturing cost.

Im guessing this is just end game tech that your supposed to use to take over all the other races quickly to finish the game up.
