Components
Flow regulator
- Component of high energy power plants allowing regulation of output energy to varying specifications (SCE Short Story: "Foundations, Book One")
- Overtaxing output can result in damaging flow regulator, causing full-strength output and risking overloading or destroying connected systems (SCE Short Story: "Foundations, Book One")
Construction equipment
Extractor
- Industrial pump used to remove large quantities of fluid (either liquid or gaseous) from an area (SCE Short Story: "Wildfire, Book 2")
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")
Mobile drilling rig
- Mobile phaser-drill platform used in mining operations (SCE Short Story: "Foundations, Book One")
- Maneuvers via antigravity units coupled with stabilizing thrusters (SCE Short Story: "Foundations, Book One")
- Automated drilling implements at fore of vehicle disintegrate rock strata through multiple emitters, permitting steady operation without risk of overload (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
Magnetic probe
- Used to directly manipulate magnetic field configuration (TOS: "That Which Survives"; SCE Short Story: "Enigma Ship")
- Commonly used to manipulate antimatter containment fields for maintenance purposes without shutting down containment (SCE Short Story: "Enigma Ship")
- Phased out c.2300 (SCE Short Story: "Enigma Ship")
- Presumably due to finer control over magnetic field configuration rendering it unnecessary, coupled with risk involved in directly manipulating such fields
P-38
- Emits a broad range of sound and light frequencies in order to open wedged panels (SCE Short Story: "Interphase, Part Two")
- Often nicknamed a "sonic screwdriver" as a result (SCE Short Story: "Wildfire, Book 2")
- 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")
