isnt this the same as favorite star trek tech? I'd say so, hun. anyway, hmm.... lemme think. I like the engines used by the Borg cubes and the Romulans [the ones that harness Quantum Singularities].

I forgot about the tricorders. Yay to anything that instantly regenerates severed arteries and broken bones.

Transporter Device that is able to dematerialize, transmit and reassemble an object. Cargo transporters have limited resolution and are employed for transport of inanimate objects. Personnel transporters work on the quantum level and employ Heisenberg compensators to enable secure transport of lifeforms. A transporter room typically consists of an operator console, a transporter platform and an overhead molecular imaging scanner, primary energizing coils and phase transition coils. A pattern buffer with a biofilter is located on the deck below. The outer hull of a starship incorporates a number of emitter pads for the transporter beam. A typical transport sequence for the beam-down of a person begins with a coordinate lock during which the destination is verified and programmed. Next, the lifeform to be beamed is scanned on the quantum level and simultaneously converted to a matter stream. This process is determined by an annular confinement beam (ACB). The matter stream is briefly stored in the pattern buffer tank and then transmitted through an emitter pad. Finally, the person is reassembled at the destination. Transporters cannot be used while the deflector shields of the ship are active. The transporter is the most debatable regular device in Star Trek, and some of its many oddities are discussed on the inconsistencies page. The fact that transporter patterns are often handled the same way as computer data, although they are supposed to be a matter stream, is unfortunately not addressed in the TNG Technical Manual. An explanation on how a person can be reassembled on an unknown planet is missing as well. Transport at warp velocities is regarded possible as long as both starships travel at exactly the same warp factor. Smaller relative motions can be compensated by a Doppler compensator. While the normal recommended transportation range is 40,000 km, it can be assumed that under ideal conditions, in particular if two transporter systems are involved, this range can be significantly extended. This is what Rick Sternbach wrote about the transporter in his newsgroup (posted 07.04.99): "The transporter definitely uses the person's (or object's) own matter and transmits it over a jacketed beam. While it uses a lot of the same field manipulation technologies as a replicator, it doesn't replicate the person (or object). The fact that we've heard people talking in the transporter beam seems to say that you don't get unzipped in a linear fashion (like from the top of your head to your toes), but more like atoms taken from all over, randomly, but with all the quantum state and position data temporarily recorded for reassembly. It's pretty analogous to the difference between recording a television broadcast (replicator) and simply sending out a live broadcast (transporter), because in the case of the latter, there's just too much data to record, at least with Federation technology."

Phaser Acronym for PHASed Energy Rectification, energy discharge weapon used by the Federation. Energy stored inside the phaser is released within a short time and directed towards the target, unlike the usually constant energy output of lasers. The phaser's function is based on the rapid nadion effect, where nadions are subatomic particles that allow to liberate strong nuclear forces. Shipboard phaser banks are attached to the outer hull of a starship in form of small apertures or domes in the 23rd century that are extended to segmented strips and finally rings in the 24th century. Phaser beams travel at light speed, and the maximum efficient operation range is 300,000km. Hand-held phasers are available in different sizes, ranging from small pocket phasers (type 1) and pistols (type 2) to phaser rifles.

Photon torpedo Matter/antimatter annihilation weapon used by Starfleet and by the Klingon Defense Force. A Starfleet photon torpedo contains deuterium and magnetically constrained antideuterium tanks, target guidance and a warp sustainer engine. In contrast to phasers, photon torpedoes can be used at warp speed.

Warp propulsion system Propulsion system of starships that allows faster-than-light (FTL) travel, also referred to as warp drive. The main components of a Federation warp propulsion system are the matter and antimatter storage, injectors, constriction segments, warp core (M/ARC), warp plasma conduits (power transfer conduits, PTC) and warp coils. The controlled annihilation of antimatter and matter inside a dilithium crystal in the warp core generates the energy necessary for a warp field and also supplies most of the ship's systems. The propulsive warp field is generated by the warp coils. The warp drive was first successfully tested by Zefram Cochrane in 2063, however, other civilizations such as the Vulcans had discovered warp drive a long time ago.
