A Type III civilization is a hypothetical civilization that has the ability to capture all the energy emitted by its galaxy, and every object within it, such as every star, black hole, etc. . They are considered to have almost god-like abilities to manipulate solar systems and even galaxies. According to the Kardashev scale, a Type III civilization would have unleashed the full potential of the galaxy and become a starfaring civilization. They would have technologies very similar to a Type II civilization but taken to a galactic scale. A Type III civilization would have control over at least an entire galaxy and theoretically be able to harness all the power available in that galaxy. They could use all the energy produced by all the stars in their home galaxy, which is equivalent to the total energy that all the stars of an entire galaxy can provide. The computing ability of a Type III civilization would be beyond our current comprehension.
