Description
This is a small, powerful
multi-function computer that can be used to store and recall basic
factual data, perform calculations, and control other electronic
devices.
Hand computers can be
optimized for certain fields of knowledge by the use of modular data
clips which can be easily inserted and removed (§200 each). When
fitted with the proper data clip, the hand computer adds +1 to a
character's asset for tasks of a purely factual or technical nature,
such as Research tasks. Data clips for particular applications allow
characters to use the hand computer to calculate jump parameters,
ballistic performance chemical formulae, etc.
The hand computer can be
linked to various sensors and allows them to be monitored and
controlled from a distance. The hand computer also serves as a
computer terminal when linked to a larger computer (such as on board
a ship).
