So there being more relics in Tech Revolution made me think: Do you think that Starfinder should introduce more precursor civilizations besides Kishalee and Sivv?
Like, Stellaris has like 6-8 different precursors from different time periods of the galaxy ;D Lot of different scifi settings have only "one" or couple but I do think in starfinder's context, precursor civilizations are actually pretty important and not just for "ancient super powered alien relics" and "for purposes of having ancient technological ruins to explore" but also because Pathfinder 1e had lot of different "ancient precursor empires". Like Azlant, Thassilon, Jistkan Imperium etc ;D
Like benefit of having multiple different one is same as in Stellaris: having the variety ;D Plus it makes galactic history feel like it has weight when there have been multiple super advanced civilizations that fell millions of years before your own era

There ARE hints of other such civilizations. The big one I can think of is the fallen hobgoblin empire that's at the heart of the conflict between the Gideron Authority and Marixah Republic in Near Space. I haven't played the SFS modules that go into more detail, so I don't know if they were that much more ADVANCED than the hobgoblins are today (though I imagine the Gideron Authority would probably make such a claim anyway, fascist as they are).
I think I'd rather see more 'ruins of collapsed old civilizations', with similar tech level to current starfinder civilizations.
The ancient precursors with super advanced technology is pretty well done already with the kishalee and the sivv, sure there is room for more, but I'd rather see something a little different than the generic precursors who had better tech, but disappeared for some reason.

Hey, its not like precursor civilization HAS to be "more technologically advanced", they could be just specialized in type of technological development from different path than modern civilization, be really specialized or such other form of standing out ;p I think kishalee and sivv both have technomagical mega engineering thing hands down done already
