Thank you for your answer.

(I had realised it should have been from a rpg, but I kept the game term from the previous comment to avoid confusion)

It is indeed Traveller; MegaTraveller, to be precise. In those tech levels the best we could claim to be is early TL9, with laser weapons &c. We're supposed to have early fusion power, FTL and anti-gravity by the end of TL9, IIRC. I think that TL11 mentioned in the list is at a level where those three technologies are well established and their use routine.
