Aside from modded in factions who may selectively defy bits of the backstory, the only "research" anyone is doing is the acquisition of Universal Access Chip's, Black Boxes with the manufacturing details of... well, apparently very nearly everything manufactured, and which are stupidly encrypted so that only the autofactories can read them. By our standards, there are no scientists in the setting, and no research is being done, nor can it be done. No one understands how anything works, only how to work it.
That's the most annoying thing with the lore. Even Somalia has scientists. That setting works in 40k because humans are religiously fanatical, but in a setting that has suffered a interstellar social collapse? Sure, maybe at the start, but after decades? It just breaks my immersion immediately reading this and then reading how you organized the Hegemony or Tri-Tachyon is.
Personally I hope it will be retconned in the future.
Random events
Aside from the super nova event I'd say this is pretty good list. Don't know how much of it will be implemented though.
