Personal and professional electronics grow in complexity, convenience, and popularity from PL 5 onward. Often, having the newest electronic gear is seen as a status symbol. Everything from advanced communications gear to multi-use optics to a variety of sensor devices are quite easily available in the 26th century.

The neural scrambler equipment is a restraint device used by many law enforcement agencies in the place of physical restraints such as hand-cuffs. The neural scrambler consists of a six-pronged device that, when placed over the head, interrupts brainwave activity. A character wearing a neural scrambler may not take any actions whatsoever, though she moves her normal speed under the command of an-other individual. When the neural scrambler is removed, the character has no knowledge of events that took place while she was re-strained.

A defensive item that is in many ways the predecessor to the personal shield, the projectile deflector equipment generates a field of gravity-altering energy around its user. Often worn as a belt or other piece of jewelry, the device actually bends the path of incoming high-speed projectiles, making the target harder to hit. The projectile deflector grants a +4 deflection bonus to Defense against ranged attacks. Melee attacks are unaffected by this device.

Often installed in office buildings, government and military installations, and other high-security environments, the remote retinal scanner equipment resembles an Information Age camera. The remote retinal scanner can take an instantaneous retinal scan from any character or creature that passes in front of its lens, without the need for lengthy eye scans or processing. Remote retinal scanners are usually connected to computers capable of cross-referencing retinal scans with existing data bases.

A small box that fits in one hand, the soother pulse equipment emits sub-audible noises and subtle vibrations that can soothe almost any animal. It carries in its memory banks the codes of pulses to soothe almost every known animal in the galaxy, and new pulses can be loaded into the device whenever they are discovered, A character using the soother pulse gains a +6 equipment bonus on all Handle Animal checks when dealing with an animal identified in the soother pulse's database.
