Cosmic String fragments
Cosmic strings are objects left over from the Big Bang, they are toplogical defects, from when the universe phase transitioned from one state to another. Depite being thinner than a proton, strands of cosmic string can cross the entire universe and "tie" the universe's galactic structures into knots. A one meter long strand can outweigh the entire Earth, as they have incredible mass. Their singularities are slightly different to that of black holes, and so are cone shaped. If two cosmic strings pass each other, time can form a loop. Tiny flecks of cosmic string travelling close to the speed of light have been detected by the DCP, some of which can be collected in the center of the galaxy as it gets wrapped around the central black hole (as the heaviest stuff sinks to the center), once there the string can become looped on itself triggering a domino effect of smaller cosmic string loops called a vorton. The potential applications are enormous: Research has taken 20 years to collect fragments of cosmic string. Unfortunately, the last war with the Grox has caused the DCP to lose between 40 and 60% of its vortons in warfare.
 * A much simpler method of producing negative mass.
 * Understanding the extra dimensions and early universe.
 * The possibilities of time travel.
 * Powerful weapons, as seen in this battle.

Quarkonium
Perhaps one of the strongest materials known in the the universe, Quark-degenerate matter is far tougher than either neutronium or monopole matter. The DCP is studying Quark stars to understand how to get the substance.

Dark energy and dark matter
Despite the DCP's knowledge and advancement is several thousand years ahead of 21st century Earth's, there are still many mysteries. The DCP still doesn't understand all the processes of the dark stuff of the universe, but is researching them currently for possible use in the future.

Matrioshaka/stellar brains
The DCP is interested in creating vast AI's encompassing entire stars and Grids, these are called Matrioshaka brains.

Postsapience
Various members of the population digitally, genetically and cybernetically enhance their physical bodies and intelligence, in order to keep pace with superfast technologies.
