An overview of common technologies in the Alliance.
Metals and Material Sciences
- Breathnache, an extremely hard, tough clathrate substance that can be sharpened to a very fine edge; it can cut stone, metal, and transmetal alloys, and can scratch diamond. Constructed atom by atom[1]. Used for applications like starship structural pieces[2], as well as for Alysha Forrest's replacement claws[1]
- crete
- Flexglass: used in buildings in the cheap part of town[3]
- Meredium, an extremely expensive white metal, comparable in price to breathnache. Meredium is combined with gold in an alloy called "ice gold," of which Alysha Forrest's earrings are made.[4]
Power
- Gem grids
- Generators
- Forms of power (anti-matter, solar collector, etc)
Genies
See Genies.
Transportation
Ship Technology and Well Drives
See Ship Technology.
Medical Technology
See Alliance Medical Technology
Military Technology
- duster
- entropy packets
Visual and Holographic Technology
- 3deo
- Viseo
- Solidigraphs
- Dominoes - cheap models have few interface options; high end versions have the option to be activated via subvocalization. It is illegal for civilian dominoes to be programmed to look like a specific person. [6]
- Roquelares
Communication and Security
- Brain-wave security technology: provide an input (an image or sound) and match the user's brain waves to the recorded brain waves, creating a unique response "fingerprint"[7]
- Projectors: allow someone to record and replay another set of brainwave responses. Small enough to sit on a lap, becomes warm and vibrates when in use.
- Dampeners: allows someone to dampen their own brainwave response
- Decryption box: Automatically decrypts encryptions, given enough time[7]
- Telegems
- Lisinthir pays for a drink at one point with a 'palm-swipe'. [8]
Need something here about encryption types and real-time ("well-pushed") streams.
Minor Tech
- Data tablets
- Data wands
- Eye films
- Repeaters
- Sendaine storage lockers (locked in some specific way? Mentioned in Earthrise)
- Stasis discs
- Stasis pins
- other stuff I've probably mentioned and forgotten
- Antigrav parachutes, consisting of a small but right T-shaped frame on the back and chest[9]
- Snowplow generators, which create a field that either pushes debris away from the ship or vaporizes it. Not necessary while in Well.[9]
- Info-stops: appear to be something like a combination tourist bureau and public Internet kiosk. Come with privacy shields.[3]
- Gyms have an anti-injury system that prevents people from connecting with one another (or disperses some of the force of their blows). [10]
- quick-stick glue! Kits can use it to glue their dads' offices shut. Not naming any names here. [11]
