A 1 kilogram Radio can communicate with a range of up to 10000 meters, or 500 meters if transmitting visual data for a display like a CRT or Hologram Projector. Smaller or larger radios have proportionally smaller or larger receiving and transmitting ranges. So a 0.1 kilogram radio could communicate with another 0.1 kilogram radio from only 100 meters away, but with a 10 kilogram radio from 10000 meters away. All radios using the same frequency interfere with and receive each other, within range. Scanning through all possible frequencies takes a standard action.

Armor

Starship Shield Gadget

Credits 20 per square meter Weight 1 Kilogram per square meter

Effects: When linked to a hull that is designed to be linked to a Starship Shield (a simple and inexpensive manufacturing process that consists of embedding some gold wires into it), the hull is protected from Physical and Noise damage like a personal shield. If the hull is larger than the maximum surface area this Starship Shield is rated for, the shield fails to function.

Planetary Shield Gadget

Credits 200000 Weight 20000 Kilograms

Effects: When synchronized with another Planetary Shield anywhere from 1000 to 10000 kilometers away, the two shields project a shield bubble from their center point with a diameter of the distance between them plus 1000 kilometers. Physical objects crossing into the bubble from outside are slowed to a stately 1 meter per second at most, negating any physical damage they might have built up or gotten from firing.

Items

Hand-Cranked Hyperdrive Gadget

This is a partially encased glowing beam of energy, accompanied by a cage of silver wires distributed just under the outside shell of whatever is supposed to be transported. An older, more primitive model of hyperdrive, where other hyperdrives have plenty of motors to align the beam for exactly the sine and distance desired, the Hand-Cranked Hyperdrive has hand cranks.

Credits 500, plus 50 per meter Weight 150 Kilogram per meter

Effects: With twenty standard actions by characters who've been told what to set the cranks to (turning twenty cranks, spaced evenly along the length of the beam), the Hand-Cranked Hyperdrive makes a 1000c/10ly hyperspace jump for everything within the confines of the cage of the silver wires, plus 5 meters beyond, consuming 1 kilogram of tachyonium per meter of hyperdrive size.

Special: A Hand-Cranked Hyperdrive is an energy beam of a specific length which limits how large of an area the metal cage defining what gets transported can cover: no part of the cage may be beyond a distance from the beam equal to the length of the beam, otherwise the jump fails.

Standard Hyperdrive Gadget

This is a partially encased glowing beam of energy, accompanied by a cage of silver wires distributed just under the outside shell of whatever is supposed to be transported.

Credits 3000, plus 100 per meter Weight 100 Kilogram per meter

Effects: After a standard action inputting the calculated jump, the standard hyperdrive takes one round to align and make a 10000c/10ly hyperspace jump for everything within the confines of the cage of the silver wires, plus 5 meters beyond, consuming 1 kilogram of tachyonium per meter of hyperdrive size.

Special: A Standard Hyperdrive is an energy beam of a specific length which limits how large of an area the metal cage defining what gets transported can cover: no part of the cage may be beyond a distance from the beam equal to the length of the beam, otherwise the jump fails.

Long Haul Hyperdrive Gadget

This is a partially encased glowing beam of energy, accompanied by a cage of silver wires distributed just under the outside shell of whatever is supposed to be transported.

Credits 3000, plus 100 per meter Weight 100 Kilogram per meter

Effects: After a standard action inputting the calculated jump, the long haul hyperdrive takes two rounds to align and make a 10000c/1000ly hyperspace jump for everything within the confines of the cage of the silver wires, plus 5 meters beyond, consuming 5 kilogram of tachyonium per meter of hyperdrive size.

Special: A Long Haul Hyperdrive is an energy beam of a specific length which limits how large of an area the metal cage defining what gets transported can cover: no part of the cage may be beyond a distance from the beam equal to the length of the beam, otherwise the jump fails.

High Speed Hyperdrive Gadget

This is a partially encased glowing beam of energy, accompanied by a cage of silver wires distributed just under the outside shell of whatever is supposed to be transported.

Credits 6000, plus 1000 per meter Weight 200 Kilogram per meter

Effects: After a standard action inputting the calculated jump, the high speed hyperdrive takes one round to align and make a 100000c/10ly hyperspace jump for everything within the confines of the cage of the silver wires, plus 5 meters beyond, consuming 5 kilogram of tachyonium per meter of hyperdrive size.

Special: A High Speed Hyperdrive is an energy beam of a specific length which limits how large of an area the metal cage defining what gets transported can cover: no part of the cage may be beyond a distance from the beam equal to the length of the beam, otherwise the jump fails.

Jump Calculator Gadget

This state-of-the-art calculating machine can do nearly two hundred arithmetic operations per second.

Credits 2000 Weight 1000 Kilograms

Effects: The Jump Calculator can calculate a safe hyperspace jump in only a single round. It takes a Standard Action to type in the target coordinates.

Hyperspace Coordinates Tome Gadget

This is a large book with very thin, fragile pages. On every page there are endless rows of names of places and corresponding numbers.

Credits 30 Weight 2 Kilograms

Effects: The hyperspace coordinates tome contains all publicly known jump coordinates. If you don't already know which page the coordinates you are looking for are on, it takes 1 minute to find them.

Hyperlabe Gadget

This is complex mechanical device of layered wheels with sliding elements on them, pendulums and whirring gears.

Credits 20000 Weight 5000 Kilograms

Effects: With an hour of careful use and a DC 5 Items check, a character can use the Hyperlabe to measure the jump coordinates for the current position and velocity.

Jump Tracker Gadget

This hefty piece of film equipment has a vector graphics display for easy alignment of detected hyperspace trails.

Credits 8000 Weight 1500 Kilograms

Effects: If the Jump Tracker has line of sight to a target appearing from or disappearing into a hyperspace jump, it records it. With a standard action and a DC 3 Items check, a user can align the knobs on the device to calculate a recorded jump, resulting in a calculation that can be used to follow, or go to the origin of the jump. As with all hyperspace jump calculations, this calculation gets out of date, in this case starting from when the jump happened.
