Construction equipment
Laser drill
- Laser-based drilling technology commonly used in constructing underground chambers and networks for asteroid or planetside bases (SCE Short Story: "Foundations, Book One"; TNG: "Home Soil")
- Mark III implementation developed by 2265 (SCE Short Story: "Foundations, Book One")
Plasma drill
- Plasma-based drilling technology used for areas with especially dense strata (DIS Novel: Desperate Hours)
- More powerful alternative to laser drills
Handheld tools
EPS pattern tracer
- Engineering tool (DS9 Novel: Mission Gamma: Cathedral)
- Presumably used to detect faults in EPS conduits
P-38
- Emits a broad range of sound and light frequencies in order to open wedged panels (SCE Short Story: "Interphase, Part Two")
- Also produces magnetic field emissions to counteract magnetic seals, often allowing for opening of sealed doors or compartments (TNG Novel: Available Light)
- In use by mid-23rd century (TOS: "The Trouble with Tribbles")
- Per annotations of "Many Splendors"
Power plants
PXK fission reactor
- Still in use by mid-23rd century (SCE Short Story: "Foundations, Book 1")
