Because of their low-birthrate and therefore their relatively small population, the Joz invested heavily in advanced robotics and automation. They utilize [[Telepresence]] in their industry, military and exploration.

	The first such robots were used to maintain massive agricultural facilities and to make mining and other industrial pursuits less hazardous for their workers.

	Four hundred years after their first space flight, the Joz developed a [[Quantum Skip Drive]], which allowed them to begin to explore space beyond their immediate system. Manned ships were designed and developed and they had soon expanded beyond their system, by establishing small way-stations.

	Any Joz is capable of working in any level of their society doing any function that they like. While most Mosek's tend towards physical jobs and most ~~Aznkes~~ towards intellectual pursuits, it is not uncommon for them to choose other avenuse normally dominated by their biological cousins.
