The point is not to have a fully explained environment with reasonable visions of the future. I thought the comparisons to Star Trek should have tipped you off. The point was to have a "fun" crew-based adventure across some galaxy or another.
As an example, the intentional vagueness was part of trying to not to end up in the same trap as the original plans: too many rules and limits. The point is to be fun to play, not to be the plot of a twenty-book scifi series.
Oh, and that explanation was pseudoscience bullshit I made up on the spot from several ideas I did have nailed down, to try and placate you, because why are you nitpicking details that I did not intend to matter?
