For all the bits and pieces that go on ships.

Equipment

See also EVA and Diving Equipment.

  • Snowplow generators, which create a field that either pushes debris away from the ship or vaporizes it. Not necessary while in Well.[1]

Commercial Liners

"Unlike a Fleet vessel, with its unmistakable emergency sirens, the passenger liner's sole indication of its status was a demure strip of red and white lights where the floor met the wall and the occasional repetition of a message 'to please stay in your cabins until the crew gives you further instructions.'[2]

  • in-sector hoppers (short haul, for within a sector)

Platy-Driven Navigation

See also Platy Water Environments

Repairs

  • Repairing ships apparently involves "acrid, nose-tickling smelling" chemical fusers and grease. [3]
  • Hull breaches can be temporarily relieved by an emergency energy patch.[4]

Weaponry and Defense

See Ship Weapons.
