Telepathy

The ability to communicate via thought transmission. The Talosians possessed incredible telepathic abilities, which enabled them to generate illusions so convincing, they were virtually indistinguishable from reality.[1]

Subspace Amplifier

The subspace amplifier was an unmanned cylindrical buoy. In stowed form, two semicylindrical panels wrapped around a narrow lower cylinder, which was topped by a wider upper cylinder, then a dish antenna. After deployment, the panels hinged out on arms, remaining parallel to the main body, and the dish pivoted downward. As part of its mission, the Enterprise NX-01 deployed its first “subspace amplifier” in order to improve communications. The Enterprise dropped Echo II, a subspace amplifier, in a “clean launch” 100 light years from Earth, and it very quickly made contact with Echo I. Both amplifiers were later destroyed by unknown aliens. Two days travel at maximum warp got the Enterprise approximately fifteen light years, back to a position where they could relaunch another amplifier. This would imply that there was an existing comm-net extending out from Earth in the direction of the Enterprise for at least 60 light years, and possibly further.[1]

Satcom 47

Satcom 47 (VOY-151)

Communications relay satellite in Earth orbit operated by Chronowerx industries in the 1990s. Chronowerx Security Chief Dunbar used the satellie to locate Henry Starling aboard the U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656, which had been transported back in time to 1996, and to transport him away.[1]

Phasing Device

Image (CODE)

Technological device used in the 31st century that allowed the user to move through solid matter, such as conduits and bulkheads. The device fit on the index and middle fingers, and was brought to the Enterprise NX-01 in 2151 by the mysterious operative known as Daniels. Captain Archer used the device to confront Silik in the Enterprise‘s Launch Bay, but lost it in space once the bay doors were opened.[1]

Nanoprobes

The basic building blocks of Borg assimilation, these microscopic, self-replicating robots permeate the bloodstream and carry Borg technology throughout the body. Nanoprobes attack the victim on a cellular level, latching on to the blood cells and taking over their functions, rewriting their DNA almost instantly.[2] The subject’s skin around the injection site turns gray within seconds, and develops a distinctive mottled pattern. This stage of assimilation leaves a subject passive and suggestible, paving the way for further alteration with cybernetic implants at an assimilation chamber.[1]
