First developed on board the [[USS Chin'toka]] with the help of [[Amuro McKnight]] and several engineering consultants throughout both the ship and Starfleet, the Tribracer was approved for general Starfleet use on away missions in early 2399. | First developed on board the [[USS Chin'toka]] with the help of [[Amuro McKnight]] and several engineering consultants throughout both the ship and Starfleet, the Tribracer (simply referred to as "bracer" was approved for general Starfleet use on away missions in early 2399. | ||
Essentially an alternate form factor that combines the functionality of a TR-600 Tricorder, a combadge, and a flashlight in one wrist-mounted device, the Tribracer is a stylistic preference, to be chosen by individual away team members if approved by their Commanding Officer. | Essentially an alternate form factor that combines the functionality of a TR-600 Tricorder, a combadge, and a flashlight in one wrist-mounted device, the Tribracer is a stylistic preference, to be chosen by individual away team members if approved by their Commanding Officer. | ||

* Users may feel free to integrate very small features that will not replace the functionality of any other devices not specified here, such as ‘apps’ that tell you what time it is in any time zone, on any planet in Federation space, or a live news feed (only functional with access to a subspace network). These features must not emulate those carried out by other devices, such as tool kits or weapons. | * Users may feel free to integrate very small features that will not replace the functionality of any other devices not specified here, such as ‘apps’ that tell you what time it is in any time zone, on any planet in Federation space, or a live news feed (only functional with access to a subspace network).

* All features should be considered '''equal to those of a standard Tricorder and Combadge, but combined into one unit. The bracer’s functionality is just as capable of being compromised as standard versions of these tools.''' | * All features should be considered '''equal to those of a standard Tricorder and Combadge, but combined into one unit.

* Form factor is that of a wearable wrist device, such as the [http://fsd.trekships.org/operations/images/comms-personal-6.gif Star Trek: A Motion Picture wrist communicators] (only larger, to account for the expanded functionality). Unlike similar devices in Mass Effect or other franchises, it is an easily spotted physical object, and will be removed in any scenario which sees Officers stripped of their equipment. Talk to your Captain ahead of time if you have a fun story idea as to why this wouldn’t have been the case in a particular instance. | * Form factor is that of a wearable wrist device, such as the [http://fsd.trekships.org/operations/images/comms-personal-6.gif Star Trek: A Motion Picture wrist communicators] (only larger, to account for the expanded functionality). The basic design is smooth, seamless, and simple with no visible buttons or screens and can be mistake for a piece of jewelry.
