Pattern Enhancers:
Use of transporters in
regions experiencing high levels of electrical or ionic interference can be
extremely hazardous. The safest way to transport under such conditions is to
have a working transporter on each end of the journey and to beam one subject or
objects from one transporter to another. However, using two transporters in the
field is not always possible. In these situations the use of pattern enhancers
can make transport during difficult conditions much safer. Pattern enhancers
serve to boost and stabilize transporter signals used in their vicinity. These
devices boost signals transmitted both to and from the ships
transporter.
Flight Vest:
The ultimate in personal transport,
the flight vest was created to be safer and more easily used as an option to the
rocket boots developed in the late 23rd century. While popular with civilians
for both practical and entertainment purposes, Starfleet rarely uses such
devices because they require extensive training to use properly and tend to be
somewhat fragile and easily damaged.
A flight vest is a personal
anti-gravity generator and propulsion device, which allows the wearer to
essentially ‘fly’. In a normal class-M atmosphere it has a top speed of 30 kph.
The vest can support a maximum of 210 kg, in passengers and cargo, including the
mass of the user.
Gill Pack:
Resembling a slightly bulbous
facemask, the gill pack allows air-breathing humanoids finally to be able to
achieve the dream of being able to live safely under water. Gill packs extract
oxygen from water by breaking down into hydrogen and oxygen. Users can even
breathe safely in water too stagnant and polluted to support fish or other
water-dwelling life. Gill packs are quite light and non-encumbering, so they are
suitable for long-term use on water worlds and by marine researchers who live
under water.
Guard Drone:
Most Federation worlds are safe and
law-abiding places. However, there are always exceptions, and many worlds, which
do not belong to the Federation, can be extremely hostile and hazardous places
to visit. For occasions when the user must travel to potentially dangerous
planets, most Federation citizens and sometimes Starfleet personnel choose to
carry ‘stunners’. These stunners are similar to Starfleet Type I phasers, but
are only capable of using 1-3 settings. Stunners are legal for civilians to own
on most Federation words. Starfleet often uses these devices on and off
ships to help bolster away teams in guarding their personnel.
A guard
drone contains a small anti-gravity propulsion unit, which allows it to move up
to 150 kph in a standard atmosphere and accelerate up to 1.5 g in a vacuum. It
also has communicator equivalent of a combadge, and a stunner device built-in
similar to a type I phaser with three beam settings, as well as wide-beam. A
drone also possesses sensors, which allows it to perform short-ranged
biological, meteorological, and energy scans equivalent to those of tricorders.
The computer inside the device will accept verbal commands from the user
and must be instructed as to the level of security it will provide. Standard
protocols call for the drone to stun anyone who attacks or aims a weapon at an
operator designated. However, some drones can be instructed to alert the team or
the operator if anyone is carrying a weapon nearby or simply stun the persons
carrying the weapons. Most models of guard drones contain holographic masking
equipment making them invisible, but still detectible by sensors. Variations of
this type of device are endless in imagination, including modifications to make
them remote sensor drones, capable of dealing with situations where personnel do
not wish to leave the ship and investigate a world, hostile or no. These models
allow a user to observe the surrounding area, and with holographic technology,
completely invisible to natives of a lower technological level than the user.
They can also use its sensors and communicators to communicate with natives are
necessary. They can be fitted with different types of tricorders, databases, etc
to increase their mission profiles.
Starfleet also has a far more
dangerous versions of this drone, including the 'Sentinel and ‘Tactical' drone.
Point-Defense Drone
As if artillery, missiles, and military vehicles weren't enough of a threat, many forces use a wide variety of combat drones. While technically thought of as Military equipment, Point-Defense Drones are more often used and deployed to large starships, colonial defense nets, and garrison duties throughout the whole of Starfleet. From flying reconnaissance drones not much larger than larger variations of nanites, to combat drones bristling with disruptors, to large point-defense drones which create three-dimensional defense perimeters, drones affect all levels of the battlefield and Starfleet missions as a whole. Most come with anti-grav technology that allows them to fly and maneuver, sophisticated sensor suites with hardened links to the user's communications network, and "genius" computer systems that let them react to changing combat conditions.
The Point-Defense Drone is typically armed by Starfleet with multiple Phaser and Tetryon Pulse Launchers, Missiles, Photon Mortars, Ultritium artillery, armor and shielding.
Size: 4.7 meters in diameter, 3.8 meters in height
Mass: 165.6 kg
Duration: Power planet supplies internal power for over 2 fulls years of extended use, not counting projectile and weaponry recharging
Replicator Multi-tool:
Developed
using advanced holographic and replicator technologies, the replicator
multi-tool are the ultimate portable tool kit, complimenting the wide variety of
engineering tool kits available to Starfleet personnel. The device itself is a
comfortable handle, which contains both a replicator unit and force field
projectors, which work together to produce small amounts of holodeck matter.
This semi-stable matter can be reshaped and formed into almost an infinite
variety of shapes and uses. Isolinear chips in this device store patterns of
literally hundreds of different tools, from knives, wrenches, and screwdrivers
to interphasic alignment couplers and duotronic
inverters.
