This hand-sized flying craft is perfect for close-range scouting. Designed to collapse into a palm-size losenge, it opens up when activated to reveal a pair of counter-rotating propellers. Its modest runtime of 1 hour is fine for poking around corners or into suspicious rooms, and its on-board laser comms and antenna mean it can be used in radio blackouts.

Sometimes called “Dumb Ectos,” data wafers approximate the size and shape of a playing card, albeit one much more durable than those of antiquity. Some are made intentionally fragile in the event they must be destroyed quickly, lest sensitive information be captured or stolen. Data wafers are unique information storage devices which hold the unusual reputation of being widely accepted and tradeable across the system, from inner system art collectors to anarcho-capitalist gun runners to argonauts swapping cutting-edge research. For obvious reasons, data wafers are enormously popular within the g-rep community, while maintaining a veneer of acceptable use in the public eye.
“Blanks” are data wafers that have not yet been encoded with information, and which can be accessed once (and only once) before they become read-only.

The “Meat Bot” is a roller drone with an internal refrigerated compartment. It can store up to 4 cu.ft. of perishable goods.

This boutique airship caters to the whimsical, idle rich of Venus – or at least those willing to shell out for a taste of that lifestyle for a short time. Manufactored by Clean Sweep Autocars, it can carry up to 8 transhuman standard passengers top-deck, with an internal compartment pressurized at 1 bar regardless of your altitude. Dare to dive deep into the lower reaches of the acid haze and gaze upon the volcanic peaks of Venus for yourself! Lay claim to the skies in this luxury Sky Yacht that holds up to even the roughest Venusian weather*.
* By renting, purchasing, or leasing this vehicle, you are agreeing that Clean Sweep Autocars is not held liable or responsible for morph injury, property destruction, or loss of ego that results from any contractee who intentionally attempts to battle the Venusian winds or attempts to use any aspect of this vehicle outside of its intended function. The CSS Opulux is rated to withstand significant Venusian wind damage and electrical storms for an extended period of time but is not at this time rated for landing expeditions on the Venusian surface. It is only rated for temporary space travel within the sealed compartment.

The CSS Celerity is the flashier, more agile half of Clean Sweep’s Venusian luxery line. Designed in cooperation with Comet Express for reckless speed with a toughness that goes a long way to increasing survival among the Venusian acid clouds and oppressive atmosphere. The preferred mode of transport for Umbretta Faith during the events of The Venusian Job, this model will likely be popping up more frequently as Clean Sweep and ComEx seem to have cornered the luxury flier and delivery market there.

This mid-size car is a personal luxury vehicle manufactured by Clean Sweep Autocars. It can carry up to six passengers in high comfort whether traveling on the ground or through the air, and comes standard with a cyberbrain for one’s chauffer. It ships with a built-in AI capable of driving safely through terrestrial habs.
Since it’s made by Clean Sweep Autocars, the Velo XTS has some Quirky ™ features. It has mesh-enabled light-up wheel rims that allow it to act as a moving low-res display screen along with a full holoprojector capable of making a bold statement to passersby. The interior is more like a limousine than a town car and allows the passengers to sit facing each other, or can be reconfigured to sport a wet bar at the cost of passenger capacity.

SafeShot Smart Ammo is the most widely-used ammo for firearms. It can be programmed to impact the target as a piercing projectile or a non-lethal splat bag. It can also turn into a splat bag at a certain range beyond the target, making collateral damage much less harmful.
Small, armed multirotor craft with a sensor suite. Commonly used in high security areas as a supplement to transhuman officers, and as a personal bodyguard for the rich or notorious. Models equipped with a firearm are sometimes nicknamed “Guardian Devils” to differentiate them from the less harmful “Guardian Angel” bots.

An exotic, articulated walking vehicle designed to carry a single occupant in style and luxury. The Deve Tourer’s panoramic cockpit provides unmatched views of the local ecosystem, and its ample cargo capacity means you won’t have to leave anything behind.
The camel-like Tourer cruises at a sedate 40kph (~25mph) with a max safe speed of 65kph (~40mph). It typically runs on an internal battery to reduce noise, but has space to install a standard methane engine (with tank), deployable solar array, or nuclear battery bank for recharging on the go.

Folds down to a large briefcase. Can be deployed in one minute into a meter-high anti-personnel turret.
This robust 6-wheeled rover has large, wide tires perfect for hauling heavy loads over the shifting sands of Mars. It can comfortably house four standard-size morphs in its pressurized crew cab, with a built-in server capable of running two full infomorphs at 1x speed. The rear bed can carry bulky, hefty loads, or be customized to meet mission requirements.
It’s fitted with two long-range antennas, a 360-degree multiwavelength scanning suite, and deployable emergency solar array. It can run for around 20 hours on a full charge, or up to 30 hours if auxiliary gear is turned off.

The XM-5 self-contained drilling platform is a perfect set-and-forget device for probing mineral deposits. It runs off of a built-in solar array – with optional hookups for external power – and sports a single drill head mounted on an extending drive pylon. The platform is capable of drilling through most mineral substances to a depth of almost 1km, thanks to its small nanobot construction swarm. This same swarm helps repair minor environmental damage to the platform, allowing far longer times between manual refits.
The XM-5 is fitted with robust manual controls in addition to a standard mesh interface. Thanks to this, it can remain fully functional regardless of mesh interference or blackouts.
The XM-5 has a very small storage box and is not intended for high scale or high volume applications.
A wearable device that provides ongoing monitors of nearby body language, emissions, and other indicators, ultimately providing +2 to Kinesics rolls against targets within conversational distance to recognize deception or uncomplicated motivations.
Old tech, seldom seen anymore because, in the circumstances where it has the most reason to exist, a skilled operator stands to give away more by wearing it than they gain from its assistance.
