Bray-Tell Conglomerate Listing (with special notes)

Personnel Weapons and Armor Technologies

Sealed-cartridge SP weapons. (Standard firearms, with cartridges redesigned to be "sealed" as fired, so as to operate normally without atmosphere.)
Gauss-based Accelerator rifles.
Charged Plasma-stream Rifles. (Sort of a "lightning gun". Very recent development, extremely difficult to acquire.)
Variable-payload Grenade and Rocket Launchers.

Hardened Enviromental Suit.
Powered Assault Armor. (Effectively Terran Marine Armor from Starcraft series.)
Phalanx Guard. (Basically a riot shield made of ship-grade armoring. Often mounted on the shoulder of Assault Armor. Variant comprised of lighter materials, with a telescoping design available.)


Ship Weapons Technologies List

Rapid-cycle Laser Pulse Batteries. (Usually only mounted fixed on fighters, normally mounted in turrets on most ships. Fairly standard armament.)
Beam Cannon. (Heavier laser weapon, fires continuous beam.)
Variable-payload Guided Missile Batteries.
Planetary Bombardment Railguns.

Artificial Intelligences - A note on the Conglomerate's AI technology. Only the heaviest battleships or stations carry 'true' full-AIs, as Conglomerate techs can currently only make reliable AIs using large-scale computing systems. While most ships and stations have what is billed as an AI, those systems are almost far rougher in design, and much more limited. (Most Conglomerate "AIs" are closer to the Terran Adjutants from the Starcraft series.)

Energy Shields - Currently, Conglomerate energy-based shield technology is limited, requiring vast banks of capacitors and emitters to employ, barring their use for personnel, save in fixed emplacements. Brayten Technologies is hard at work to develop smaller shield tech, but the breakthrough just hasn't come yet.

Teleportation - Also currently limited, Conglomerate teleportation technology is still not to the point of being non-lethal for use, and is restricted to specially packaged tools and supplies. Leonis Sanitation is one of the noted users of Conglomerate teleporters, moving supplies from their transport ships to the worksite as needed.

Psionic Technologies - Heavily limited in Conglomerate space, due to the rarity of psychic potential in the sector. The largest majority of psychics in the sector are employed in various research projects. A smaller selection are used in certain military ships, usually the flagships and mainstay stations. In very rare situations, individuals are assigned elsewhere. Aside from various "detection" techniques and very basic telepathic ones (mostly filtering out thoughts and preventing random mind-reads), most psychics in the sector are self-trained, and not very well at that.

(List in progress.)
