I agree with giving the Scro technology, though I focus on Roman/Classical
and  Rennaisance tech (remember, even a club is technology:))  However, the
comment on the time between wars is too focused on recent, modern changes.
We live in a period of great change socially, technologically, and
intellectually.  This is _not_ the norm of human existance. Historically,
technological changes is much, much slower, and wars slow it down, rather
then speed it up as they have in the past century. The horse collar, a
simple device that allows a horse to pull heavy loads without choking, was
introduced until the Medeival period. yet horses had been domesticated
thousands of years earlier. Just one, minor example. there are countless
others. It is perfectly acceptable to assume little or no technological
change between the First and Second Unhuman Wars.:)
