Majipoor: Technology

Technology on Majipoor is quite a mixture, with some remnants of the high level of a spacefaring culture (mostly very old). For most inhabitants, beasts of burden rather than powered vehicles are the norm. Research is rare. Very few understand the old technology well enough to repair devices that break down.
