Pads

Medical Technology

  • halo-arch
  • medimage platforms
  • aap

(See also Medicine.)

Military Technology

  • duster
  • entropy packets

Well Drive

Has five "speeds":

  • 1
  • 2
  • 3 (The Lip of the Well); most civilian ships stop here.
  • 4 Courier ships occasionally go this speed.
  • 5 (The Well's Deep) This speed is only typical of Fleet vessels pushing things.

Visual and Holographic Technology

  • 3deo
  • Viseo
  • Solidographs
  • Dominoes
  • Roquelares

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
  • Telegems
  • other stuff I've probably mentioned and forgotten
  • Breathnache, an extremely hard, tough 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]
  • Antigrav parachutes, consisting of a small but right T-shaped frame on the back and chest[3]
  • Snowplow generators, which create a field that either pushes debris away from the ship or vaporizes it. Not necessary while in Well.[3]
