Starfleet Equipment

Standard Equipment

Desktop Monitor

A Desktop Monitor is a personal computer console used as Starfleet personnel for personal library computer retrieval and for visual communications.

Molded of duranium composite, the Desktop Monitor feature a holographic glass display and a base housing a Sarium Krellide power cell allowing the device to operate for up to 60 hours of continuous usage. Memory storage is provided by two banks of Isolinear circuits, allowing the device to store up to 1.21 megaquads of information while data processing occurs at 300 giga floating point (GFP) operations per second. An internal subspace transceiver assembly maintains communication with the main computer of the vessel, allows for connection to the Starfleet databank at Memory Alpha, and allows the device to accept communications.

Device inputs are commonly provided through the touch-sensitive, multilayered flat screen technology built into the monitor of the device; however, the Desktop Monitor can also accept voice commands. In some situations a Desktop Monitor can be configured to control any system aboard the vessel, but this authorization is limited to members of the vessel's command crew.

Phaser Pistol

A Phaser pistol, is a handheld directed-energy sidearm used by Starfleet and United Federation of Planets personnel and is standard issue for away teams and Officers aboard the ship. Powered by Sarium Krellide power cells, these Phasers have a duration of 250 discharges before needing to recharge.

Primarily a defensive weapon, the Phaser is a particle weapon that produces high energetic, short-lived beams of energy through the rapid nadion effect. Featuring sixteen power settings ranging from light stun, which can cause unconsciousness in a humanoid for five minutes, up to heavy disruption, which can vaporize up to 600 cubic meters of rock, the Phaser can be set to multiple beam types depending on user's need. Outside of defensive purposes, the Phaser Pistol has multiple applications as a tool including serving as a cutting tool, heating rock, and clearing obstructions.

In the mid-2380s, Starfleet redesigned the Phaser from a sleek, silver-colored device with a handle flowing back to the rugged, gun-like appearance common in the 23rd Century. The default firing style of the Phaser is a pulse but can be transitioned to a beam if necessary. Phasers are equipped with internal biometric sensors that limit the ability of an unauthorized user from firing the weapon and also incorporate an internal subspace transceiver that limits the weapon to a maximum setting of heavy stun without the permission of the Commanding Officer.

TriComm Badge

Introduced in 2435, the TriComm badge is the latest innovation created by Starfleet Research and Development and combines the functions of the Communicator Badge, Personal Access Display Device, and Tricorder. Taking the form of the Starfleet insignia, the Communicator is powered by Sarium Krellide power cell and is a crystalline composite of gold, microfilament, silicon, beryllium, and carbon-70. Communicators are a means of providing personal identification with the user's name and serial number engraved on the back of the badge, with bars built into the device indicating the user's rank. The device maintains identification credentials that could be used to login to Starfleet computers and equipment, utilizing biometric data saved within the device.

Activated by pressing the device once and calling out the name or general area of the intended recipient, the Communicator is a small, multi-purpose communications and universal translation device. Typically, the device is used for communication with others when the internal communication system is unavailable, for accessing the shipboard computer system, ship-to-shore communications, and for direct communication to another Communicator. Programmed with an internal universal translator circuit, the device is preprogrammed with 300 different languages within its database and has a working range of the Communicator is 40,000 kilometers, but can be boosted in some situations. The Communicator can be programmed to accept voiceprint commands, including opening a channel to another and closing when the word "out" is uttered. By default, the Communicator functions are deactivated by another single tap.

Pressing the TriComm and moving the finger upward engages the Holographic Personal Access Display Device (or HoloPADD for short). When active the unit projects a large, holographic touchscreen display that can be used for a variety of functions including logging crew manifests, compiling duty rosters or diagnostic reports, entering personal data, and/or accessing library computer systems using the interface. Starfleet personnel can conduct business through their HoloPADD, including transferring the responsibilities of a workstation to the device if needed. When no longer needed the user will press their TriComm and move their finger in a downward motion.

The Tricorder is an advanced multi-function computing and scanning device used to gather, analyze, and record data. Activated by pressing the TriComm and swiping right, the Tricorder incorporates a broad array of sophisticated sensors and miniaturized computer technology to assist in analysis of an environment, person, or object. When fully charged the TriComm's Tricorder functions can be continually active for up to 36 hours with a range of 2,500 meters for a long-range scan. Routine analysis of a item can occur almost instantaneously, but high-resolution scans can take up to an hour to complete. While capable, a Tricorder is not infallible as interference and jamming signals can limit the effectiveness of the device to reduce the effective range and even block scanning signals. To deactivate the Tricorder the user will tap the device and swipe left.

Uniform

Starfleet Uniforms are worn by individuals serving in the Federation Starfleet. Designed for comfort and durability in the most extreme environments, Starfleet uniforms facilitate the wearers' needs as both scientists and researchers, as well as Starfleet's military role. Wearers are expected to abide by the Starfleet Uniform Code, though special exceptions can be made to honor aspects of an individual's cultural heritage.

While the color scheme had varied over time, Starfleet uniforms are classified by color with the current colors in practice:

Command: The Command Division is responsible for the administration of starships, starbases, and space stations. These personnel are distinguished by red coloration.
Operations: The Operations Division is the backbone of Starfleet and incorporates the engineering, operations, and security departments. This group is responsible for technological innovation and for maintaining and defending the Federation and typically wear uniforms with gold coloration.
Science: The Sciences Division is the heart of Starfleet and comprises members of the exploratory, medical, and mental health departments within the fleet. Science personnel are identified by uniforms with teal coloration.
Service: The Service Division fulfills all support roles within Starfleet and are identified by uniforms with silver coloration.

Introduced in 2437, the uniform utilized by the crew of the Enterprise consists of a black undershirt, a pair of black trousers, and a tunic overshirt with division colors.

Engineering Equipment

Engineering Multitool

Originally developed in the mid-24th Century, the Engineering Multitool uses advanced microreplicator technology to reproduce almost any handheld tool used by Starfleet. Initially limited to emergency kits due to being considered unreliable, recent advancements in replicator technology have allowed the Corps of Engineers redesign the device to increase is reliability, leading Starfleet Command to approve the device for routine use.

To operate the device, the user identifies the desired tool either through selection on the built-in monitor or by voice command. A Positronic chip built into the handle of the device stores the patterns of hundreds of different tools, allowing for a variety of equipment options but with some limitations. Once selected, the multitool uses microreplicator technology and force field projectors to produce the selected object. When activated it takes five seconds to produce the tool and an additional two seconds to deactivate the tool when power is turned off to the device. While capable of almost 25 hours of continuous usage, the multitool is incapable of producing high-energy tools like laser cutters or welding lasers.

Medical Equipment

Hypospray

The Hypospray is a medical device that is used to either extract or inject liquids into a body.

Through the usage of a noninvasive transport mechanism of compressed air, an injectant is inserted into the base of the Hypospray and transferred from the device into the subdermal layer below the skin of the body or artery without the the need of a needle. Oftentimes the Hypospray injection site is the side of the neck, to the carotid artery, but the Hypospray can inject even through clothing if necessary. As the Hypospray is bloodless, the skin of the patient was not punctured during use and reduced the risk of infection or pain at the site of injection. As the medication is not contaminated by use the medication can be injected into multiple patients until the Hypospray is depleted without risk of spreading blood-borne illness.

When needing to extract liquids from a body, a user can reset the device to pull liquids from a body rather than inject them into one. Utilizing a needleless reactant, the Hypospray will pull blood or other liquids from the body and into the device. The vial may then be removed and sent for analysis.

Medical Multitool

Originally developed in the mid-24th Century, the Medical Multitool is similar to the Engineering Multitool and uses advanced microreplicator technology to reproduce almost any handheld medical instrument used by Starfleet. Initially limited to emergency kits due to being considered unreliable, recent advancements in replicator technology have allowed the Corps of Engineers redesign the device to increase is reliability, leading Starfleet Command to approve the device for routine use.

To operate the device, the user identifies the desired medical device, either through selection on the built-in monitor or by voice command. Once selected, the multitool uses microreplicator technology and force field projectors to produce the selected object from patterns installed on the Positronic chip built into the handle of the device. When activated it takes five seconds to produce the tool and an additional two seconds to deactivate the tool when power is turned off to the device. While capable of almost 25 hours of continuous usage, the multitool is limited in its ability to produce high energy devices.

Scientific Equipment

Security Equipment

Phaser Rifle

The Phaser Rifle is a larger, more powerful weapon deployed in highly dangerous situations. While slightly less powerful than the contemporary weapons used by other governments, Starfleet Phaser Rifles are designed with larger power packs and a third prefire amplification chamber, allowing the weapon to operate for longer periods of time and to discharge more shots before needing to be recharged. By default the Phaser Rifle fires a Phaser pulse, but can be reconfigured to beam settings depending on mission profile and feature the same power settings as the Phaser Pistol.

Phaser Rifles are fitted with technologies designed to improve the weapon's accuracy. The Phaser Rifle is supplemented by fully-autonomous recharge capability, multiple-target acquisition, and gyro-stabilization devices to make them more accurate in hazardous situations. A tracking light could be mounted on the central body, as well as a shoulder strap attached to the upper surface to allow ease of carrying. Additional peripherals can be attached to the weapon to increase its combat utility including a specialized tracking scope that allows for firing on a target at distance. An underslung grenade launcher - comprising a barrel, breech and four-round internal magazine - can be fitted for heavy combat situations where there is an extreme risk to the user.
