pre-programming for all Terran races & commonly associated ETs (Rioli, Mota Banu, Blenari, Threenaleens, races of Philippia, Tamindar, the Jack)
self-updating and self-upgrading (i.e., ambitious)

cortical I/O (for anesthesia, analgesia, lie detection & some psychiatric care)
score imprinting (two scores per patient):
- psilence or open psi (3d6 hours, 3 psi pts)
- anoxia (3d6 hours, 3 x END vs 1 hit pt)
- radiation (2d6 days)
- heat or cold (1d6 days, 3 x END vs 1 hit pt)

Projective Teleport -
XPT-600 "Bungee," Isenner Tachyonics Corp. of Capek
lp 3 million, 50,000 km range

contemporary (2553) cutting-edge teleport technology
one 4-ton projector unit
two one-ton projector frames (armillary style, 8-meter diameter)
two armored space-vans (complimentary, 3.5 x 3 x 5 meters, 400 kph max air)
requires continuous power to hold frame ready for recall (at a level the Nones cannot supply, though Cantrel's big ships or the Baron Munch can)

Transilience Driver (aka "Jaunt Cannon") -
Arges 7000, Burning Salt, Inc., of Capek
lp 5 million, 30,000 km range

contemporary (2553) cutting-edge TK technology)
one 3-ton driver, 8 x 5 m dia. cylindrical launch chamber
four 20-kg focus setters
six flight suits (complimentary, vacuum-tight)
one guppy in a suspendable sealed sphere with lifecycler (complimentary test subject)
passengers lose 1d6 nrv pts until they crit on 3xNRV (vertigo & disorientation)
cannot penetrate airtight barriers; payload drops at barrier or bounces back
foci moderately conspicuous on instruments; transition VERY conspicuous
maximum transit time ~1 second (0.1c)
power requirement too high for Nones but not for Cantrel's ships or the Baron Munch
