Away Team Equipment 7 - USS Highlander

Wrist Beacon

This is a fairly recent addition to the Starfleet inventory. Added in 2371, it was designed with the idea of providing away teams with a way to produce extra illumination in a hand's off capacity. The Type VI produces two beams of light, and attaches to the wrist by way of a velcronic strap. It is extremely sturdy and will remain in place through even the most treacherous movements. Included on the Type VI is an emergency transporter beacon which can be used to enhance the wearer's signal in case of an emergency beam out.
