A wide variety of '''items''' in [[New Eden (cluster)|New Eden]] are possible thanks to modern technology.

==Domestic==
Amazing as it may seem, a world as strange as New Eden is nonetheless full of regular people trying their best to lead ordinary, non-eventful lives. Said lives may not contain the excitement of large-scale fleet battles, POS conquests, missions against pirate factions or, well, mining...but then, we can't all be [[capsuleers]]. Nonetheless, technological advancements have made great leaps in improving the lives of the invisible masses.

*[[Caretaker drone|Caretaker drones]] are a breakthrough for the disabled.
*[[Chairs]] have come a long way.
*The ubiquitous [[datapad]] or holopad is the root of all communication and thus the indirect enabler of humanity's greatest misunderstandings.
*[[Handheld video cameras]] are in use among the populace.
*[[Holo-frame|Holo-frames]] are a common sight in cramped spaces.
*[[Hovertable|Hovertables]] serve a valuable, if rather menial, purpose.
*[[Kapli]] is a ceremonial bread baked by Minmatar slaves.
*[[Khari]] ovens may be used for cooking.
*[[Microblade scythe|Microblade scythes]] may be used for harvesting [[wheat (lore)|wheat]].
*[[Nanite-infused makeup]] may be needed for even the rosiest of complexions.
*[[Plants]] can be made a more permanent decor accessory.
*[[Plasma-nanite panel|Plasma-nanite panels]] can be used to display images.
*[[Polysteel table|Polysteel tables]] can have their shape reconfigured.
*[[Quafe+]] was available for a very limited time in a very specific part of New Eden, and recalled for a (SOYLENT GREEN IS PE-) perfectly legitimate reason.
*[[Scrambler|Scramblers]] maintain the privacy of a public conversation.
*[[Underground parking complexes]] can have walls made of metal and opaque plastic.
*[[Virgin roe]] might be an acquired taste.

==Engineering and Industrial==
New Eden is a complicated world, and runs on grime and cogwheels as much as any other. The various implementations of the latest in engineering theories are seen not merely in the construction of amazing orbital bodies, but also in increasingly efficient use of natural phenomena—asteroids, certainly, but also ice clusters, comet clouds and more.

*[[Armor rig can|Armor rig cans]] are used by mechanics on rig pumps.
*[[Augumen]] is a cheap, dirty replacement of pyroxeres.
*Starship/module [[blueprints (lore)|blueprints]] are varied but share a similar technological base.
*[[Cassandra]] is the [[Gallente|Federation]]'s most advanced solar monitoring system.
*[[Genesis vaults]] have been created for worst-case scenarios.
*[[Gravboots]] are necessary for all manner of work.
*[[Hydrotrisulfate]] is something you don't want to drink.
*[[Isogen-5]] may be used for extremely complex technology and for extremely destructive explosions.
*[[Mining colonies]] are a key component of interstellar industry.
*[[MTAC|MTACs]] are used for all manner of heavy duty work.
*[[Nanoids]] are not nanites.
*[[Neuro-embryonic containment fluid]] keeps capsuleers afloat.
*[[Nocxium (lore)|Nocxium]] is a critical material for [[capsule]] construction.
*[[Platinum-thorium]] is a common alloy.
*[[Polycarb glass]] is a watertight material.
*[[Quantum nanomorphic alloy]] keeps capsuleers contained.
*[[Sheerite]] is a glass-like material used in construction.
*[[Straker saw|Straker saws]] enable precision cuts.
*[[Touch-sensitive pads]] can be obscured in flooring.
*Without the [[transneural burning scanner]], capsuleer deaths would hold a very different and rather more final meaning.
*[[Transparent nanoalloy]] is what we call 'glass'.
*[[Vernicium]] is a drone-related byproduct.
*[[Walkers]] are mechanized suits for a variety of dangerous industrial tasks.

==Health==
It is an unfortunate consequence of politics and economics that New Eden's advances in medical science have not found their way to all corners of the cluster. These days, research and implementation is primarily focused on combat-related ventures, not merely related to capsuleers and interstellar combat, but also to modern ground-based warfare. After all, while ground troops get hurt all the time as a matter of course, interstellar combat operates by different rules: While there may certainly be a need for medical assistance onboard a ship, the likelihood of one sustaining an injury that requires medical intervention is in fact rather low. One either survives space combat, or one does not.

*[[Automated intensive care unit|Automated intensive care units]] are primarily a clone host with military applications.
*[[Bio-nanological sealants]], also known as biofoam, help repair breaches.
*[[Cellular regenerator|Cellular regenerators]] can be a godsend, particularly if the subject cannot be cloned.

*A specialized [[dialysis machine]] has been known to be put to use.
*[[Epidermal patches]] are bandages for the modern age.
*[[Laser scalpels]] are of use in the operating room.
*[[Plexiglass syringe|Plexiglass syringes]] are a cheap method of delivering nano-materials to the bloodstream.
*[[Predicatus Ingvarious]] is a dangerous congenital disease.
*[[Prosthetics]], a thankful solution to a host of ugly causes, are used in New Eden, even at the highest levels of society.
*[[Rehydrator|Rehydrators]] may be vital to someone undergoing chemical treatment.
*[[Sokavali Solution]] is used in the medical field, and by sadists.
*The [[Vitoc method]] is a way of enforcing slavery with little physical effort.

==Interstellar Ship Tech==
Interstellar vessels come in many shapes and sizes, and even two of the same type may take on entirely different guises depending on the technology they have been outfitted with. Ship technology—research, production and fitting—has long been a vast and productive field unto itself; even more so in recent times since New Eden's capsuleers started looking into it for murderous fun and profit.

*[[Camera drones (lore)|Camera drones]] allow a pilot to observe the surroundings of his ship.
*[[Cross-capsule variant]] ships do exist.
*[[Luxury yacht|Luxury yachts]] have been known to sail the starry skies.

==Information and Entertainment==
The implementation of information technology is extremely diverse in New Eden, though empire authorities have gone to great lengths to standardize it. The same variety applies to entertainment, which differs greatly between systems. In some places it may be culturally acceptable to down a glass of [[Chest Wound]] and loudly clear one's throat to dislodge whatever charred remains persist there, while elsewhere, saying a quiet prayer and having a glass of water might be considered the pinnacle of one's Saturday night.

*[[Adakul manuals]] are sold in Izoni Square.
*[[Aura]] is the greatest example in the cluster of embedded, sarcastic computing.

*New Eden is host to a wealth of [[virtual entertainment]].

==Military==
New Eden's weaponry spans an amazing range from old, tried and tested rock-and-spear to advanced and highly complicated technological machinery. Its purpose, however, remains consistent throughout: To cause horrifying amounts of damage (sometimes in horrifying ways, too).

===Personal Weapons===
A personal weapon is a weapon that can be carried and employed by a single person, although its use may be restricted to specialist members of attack or defense teams. Some larger personal weapons may usually be operated by two man teams, an aimer and a loader.

*[[Armored personnel carrier|Armored personnel carriers]] are used for infantry transports.

==Transport==
Transport is a major concern in a world as extensive as New Eden. While its systems are large enough that they can easily room capsuleers, commutes may still suffer from delays and complexities at the various chokepoints that must exist along each route: Station hangars, [[stargates]], and other capsuleers with ECMs and far too much time on their hands.
