Alien Technology
Intro
List of various forms of alien
technology seen in the series.
Alphans do have versions
(probably comparatively primitive)
of some of these sorts of technology,
but do not have many of them.
Alphans probably do obtain a few
examples (mostly damaged) of a few of these,
as noted below.

List
- Android: several examples masquerading as Vegan people in
OMOH;
Servant of the Guardian of Piri.
- Atomic Dispersal
(Magus)
- Biological Computer (excluding androids):
one (sole?) example was
Psyche.
- Computers (non-biological): various
(Note: Alphans have some too).
- Decomposing to atomic level (same as Atomic Dispersal?):
Tritonians (in
RATM) are able
to decompose objects to their constituent atoms
and move them, not as instantaneously as others.
- Force fields
(Note: Alphans have some too).
- Holographic Projection (various)
- Hypnotizing via device (e.g.
Taybor against Maya).
- Hyperdrive(?), an interstellar drive (Taybor)
- Immobilizing ability that made Alphans
stand stock still.
- Jammers
- Lasers? (humans have too)
- Light Decelerator
(the source of the
abilities of Magus)
- Magnetic Field Cocoon (Magus)
- memory-enhancing devices that
Taybor scatters around Alpha.
(NAME????)
- Meson Converter: multiple purposes
(Dorcons)
- Missiles (something humans had back on
Earth):
could some slight missile fragments have survived
the explosion of the missiles?
- near-instantaneous transportation
(Earth also develops this via neutrinos(?))
- Neuro-Pulsonic Jammer,
of which Alpha probably ends up keeping one or two examples.
- Photon Drive: a propulsion system on the
Croton ship.
- Pods (more missile-like than ship-like):
53 pods holding Exiles;
2 pods remain on Alpha (1 slightly damaged);
remaining 51 pushed back on original course.
- robots: one example in "The Beta Cloud" (which after it was deactivated was presumably studied by the Alphans)
- space warp detector? ("Space Warp")
Kept by Alphans.
- Spaceships (various), several of which are
destroyed on or near the Moon.
- Staser
- Stasis Chamber
(covered with what was assumed to be a force field) that
Pasc and
Etrec were put in,
along with its controlling "power unit" (in
MOA).
The chamber was badly damaged.
The power/control unit was retrieved intact.
Unknown what became of either technology.
- Suspended Animation (various)
- other means (if not named earlier)
of interfering with Alphan systems
such as computers or Eagles,
such as seen in:
"The Last Enemy".
- means of suppressing Psychon metamorphic abilities,
including being able to force reversion.
