Wars are fought with technology, and technology is discovered through research. All research is done at your Research Lab, where you can improve your existing technologies, and discover new ones. Technologies do different things, such as improve units or unlock new technologies and ships.
Once researched, technology can not be unlearned. It can be cancelled anytime previous to completion for a full refund of resources. Technology is not stored on any planet; you don't lose technology by abandoning the planet it was researched on.
