Editing Technology of the Twelve Colonies (TOS)

{{TOS twelve colonies series}}
The '''technology''' of the [[The Twelve Colonies (TOS)|Colonials]] is extremely advanced.

== Armament ==

{{mainarticle|Weapons in the Original Series}}

Laser-based weapons dominate the weapons of the Colonials. From personal weapons ([[laser pistol]], [[laser bola]]) to fighter craft (laser torpedo equipped [[Viper (TOS)|Vipers]]) to capitol ships (laser battery equipped [[battlestar (TOS)|battlestars]], the Colonials primarily rely on lasers for their firepower ("[[Saga of a Star World]]", "[[The Man with Nine Lives]]").

== Vehicles ==
The main mode of transportation is space travel. The vast majority of the [[The Fleet (TOS)|Fleet]] consists of sub-lightspeed capable, unarmed civilian craft. The most notable exception to this is [[Galactica (TOS)|''Galactica'']], which is capable of moving at [[Propulsion (TOS)|lightspeed]] ([[Experiment in Terra]]). Transporting people to the ground is usually either accomplished using [[Colonial Shuttle (TOS)|shuttles]] or in Viper fightercraft ("[[The Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part I]]","[[Saga of a Star World]]").

Ground transportation is primarily accomplished with [[landram]]s. When conditions warrant, the arctic variant of the landram, the [[snowram]], can be brought to bear ("[[Saga of a Star World]]", "[[The Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part I]]").

[[Hover-mobile|Hover-mobile's]] are also likely a form of personal transportation. [[Boomer (TOS)|Boomer]] once commented to [[Athena (TOS)|Athena]] that, in his youth, he "hot-linked more hover-mobiles" than there were doors on ''[[Galactica (TOS)|Galactica]]''.

No known marine vessels exist.

== Communication ==
A handheld translator device, the [[languatron]], facilitates communication with other species and cultures where the Colonial language is not spoken ([[Saga of a Star World]]).

-== Communication ==
-A handheld translator device, the [[languatron]], facilitates communication with other species and cultures where the Colonial language is not spoken {{OS|Saga of a Star World}}.
-Other devices for communication between Warriors include the [[personal communicator]], which also acts as a voice recorder {{OS|Experiment in Terra}}.
-== Computers and Drones ==
-The Colonials use computers in every day life. Computers have a variety of uses, such as those for education {{OS|Greetings From Earth}}, military, and [[computer room|retaining records]]. Some computers, such as [[C.O.R.A.]], are voice activated and have artificial intelligence {{OS|The Long Patrol}}.
-Also, at the time of the [[Battle of Cimtar|fall of the Colonies]], the Fleet was well advanced in cybernetics and robotics, creating drones such as [[Muffit II]] {{OS|Saga of a Star World}} and even [[Android|facsimiles of humans]] via their [[bio-robotics institutes]] {{OS|War of the Gods, Part I}}. However, these drones are not programmed with artificial intelligence, for fear of creating another race of machines like the [[Cylons (TOS)|Cylons]] {{OS|Saga of a Star World}}.
-== Power ==
-Power for electronic equipment is provided by devices known as [[energizer]]s. These come in large units for starships, such as ''[[Galactica (TRS)|Galactica]]'' {{OS|Fire In Space}}, and also come in more portable units for civilian use {{OS|The Magnificent Warriors}}.
