Construction equipment

Laser drill

  • Laser-based drilling technology commonly used in constructing underground chambers and networks for asteroid or planetside bases (SCE Short Story: "Foundations, Book One")
  • Mark III implementation developed by 2265 (SCE Short Story: "Foundations, Book One")

Plasma drill

  • Plasma-based drilling technology used for areas with especially dense strata (DIS Novel: Desperate Hours)
    • More powerful alternative to laser drills

Diagnostic tools

EPS pattern tracer

  • Engineering tool (DS9 Novel: Mission Gamma: Cathedral)
  • Presumably used to detect faults in EPS conduits

Power plants

PXK fission reactor

  • Still in use by mid-23rd century (SCE Short Story: "Foundations, Book 1")
