TECHNOLOGY

A

Acoustic relay - is a relay that records languages from a planet in order for Hoshi to translate them into English.

Antigrav -  is a portable device that are used to transport containers that are too heavy for a single member to move. The antigrav devices make the containers float in the air so it is easy for the crewmember to move the containers.

Antimatter Reactor - is where the reaction between matter and antimatter takes place which powers all the systems aboard Enterprise.

 Astrometric computer - is the most advanced sensor computer in all of Starfleet which is located in San Francisco. It is used  to analyze all the sensor readings that the Enterprise's sensors can't detect. 

Autosequencer - is one of the subsystem of the transporter, it controls the actual transport process. The Autosequencer  must be brought online prior to the transporter's use otherwise the transporter is useless.

Auxiliary landing thrusters - the shuttlepod only uses its auxiliary landing thrusters if the primarily landing thrusters are damaged. 

Auxiliary power - is an emergency power supply system that comes activate whenever main power fails.

B

Beacon - 

                 1. A small portable flash light which all members of the away team use.

                 2. A device that warns away team members of danger.

Deflector - is a device that is used to clear a path of space dust and small objects for the ship to travel and not get any hull breaches while it is traveling at high speeds. 

Depth charge - is an explosive charge that  has a controlled detonation where the charge has a preset depth. It is normally used in a planet's atmosphere or underwater in order to either bring the enemy out or destroy it.

Dicobalt explosives - not much is known about dicobalt explosives. The Coridan Chancellor told Commander Tucker that the rebels will trade the hostages for dicobalt explosives. 

Disruptor - it is a hand weapon that can disrupt the molecular structure of an object. When the disruptor is set on it lowest setting, the object such as a member of a race can recover from its injuries while if the disruptor is set n its highest setting then the damage is much more severe.

Docking arm - is a device that is used to bring in shuttlepods into the starship's docking bay.

E

Emergency Beacon - is a device that locates crew members who are in the need of help.

 

EM-33 Plasma Pistol - is a mid 22nd century plasma based hand gun.

Energy field - is also known as a force field, it is a projection of energy which is used to contain or prevent access to members of alien races.

Environmental suits -  are spacesuits that the away team use when they step onboard a derelict vessel or on to a planet that does not support humanoid life. The environmental suits provide the away team members with oxygen, heat and there is gravity in the boots so the away team remains on the surface of the planet.

EV Pack - stands for Extra-Vehicular, the EV Pack is a life support system, it is used when the crew members are training underwater.

F

Forward Plating - is a section of the hull which protects the forward section.

G

Grappler - is a device that fires two projectiles that are connected to high tension cables. The grappler is used to bring in small shuttles and escape pods into Enterprise's launch bay. 

Gravity Plating - is duranium sheets of metal which can be converted into gravity plating that is used to make artificial gravity onboard the ship.

H

Hull plating - is the primary defense system aboard the Enterprise. It needs to be polarized in order for the hull to absorb and reflect the enemy's weapons.

I

Impulse Drive - is a general term given to sublight propulsion systems that are powered by fusion reactors. Enterprise has four impulse engines which allow it to travel to the planets in a solar system.

Impulse Reactors - are reactors that use deuterium fuel to produce helium plasma that powers the impulse drive. Impulse reactors were used when warp drive wasn't developed yet.

Impulse Relays - are connections from the warp reactor to the engines.

Inertial clamp - is a component of the Suliban docking interface.

Infrared Scanner - is a component of the targeting system aboard Enterprise.

Intercom -  is also know as the comm panel

J

There is no technology glossary terms for J. 

K

There is no technology glossary terms for K.

L

Linguistics Database - is a database which contains every word and syntax of the alien languages that the communication officer has programmed into it, the linguistics database then can translate the alien language which the crew are hearing into English.  

M

Maglock - is a system that uses magnetic forces to attach two objects. The grappler use maglocks in order for the grappling projectiles to attach to the shuttlepods. 

Magnetic constrictor - is a component of the warp core.

Magnetic Shield - another term for a dampening field.

Microcharges - are small detonators that security officers use in order to destroy only what needs to be destroyed.

N

Night-Vision Headset - is a device that the away team wears around their head when they are on an alien planet and they don't want to let the enemies know that they are here by not using their flashlights.

O

Optical Sensors - are sensors which allow the Enterprise's crew on the bridge to zoom on to the inhabitants of a pre-warp civilization world in order to see what they look like physically.

 

P

Particle Weapon - is a weapon that can be a handgun that fires an yellow beam that can stun or kill the person.

 

Phase Cannons - are also known as phase modulated energy weapons. The starship has 3 phase cannons and each phase cannon has a maximum power output of 500 gigajoules.

 

Phase Discriminator - is a component of the transporter which isolates foreign contaminates from the matter stream and gets rid of them so they don't pose a threat to the person being transported.

 

Phase Pistols -  is the standard hand weapon for the Enterprise Crew when they are on away missions.

Phonetic Processor - is a processor that processes the dialect and syntaxes of alien languages.

Targeting sensors, Starboard - are sensors that are located on the starboard side of Enterprise, these sensors track the movements of targets on the starboard side.

Temporal Chamber - is a communication room aboard the Suliban Helix, it connects to two different time periods so Silik can communicate with someone in the future who gives him orders.

Temporal Observatory - is a handheld oval device that emits a holographic display of the timeline in the universe so it shows who is doing what and when are they doing it. This is used to observe for signs that factions are disrupting the current timeline.
