| '''Type''' || Utility / support psionic devices

'''Psi Gear''' encompasses all non-combat psionic technology — devices used for sensing, communication, amplification, data processing, and support. Psi Gear forms the operational backbone that both [[Psi Weapons]] and [[Psionic Defenses]] depend on.

== Device Catalog ==

=== Sensing & Detection ===

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
! Device !! Function !! Notes
|-
| '''[[Psi Scanner]]''' || Detects and classifies psionic field activity || Threat identification, environmental assessment
|-
| '''[[HelmKit]]''' || Operator sensory enhancement + [[PsiSys]] interface || Primary Tho'ra headpiece; combines sensing, defense, and HUD
|-
| '''[[Psionic Ink]]''' || Quantum-entangled information storage medium || Read via [[Psi Scanner]] or [[HelmKit]]
|}

=== Communication ===

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
! Device !! Function !! Notes
|-
| '''[[PsiLink]]''' || Point-to-point psionic communication || Encrypted mesh communication between [[PsiSys]] nodes
|-
| '''[[PsiNet]]''' || Network-level psionic infrastructure || [[Fusion Engine Suit]] distributed intelligence network
|-
| '''[[Psionic Resonance Uplink]]''' || Team phase-lock amplifier || Synchronizes 8–12 operatives for N² collective boost
|}

=== Processing & Infrastructure ===

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
! Device !! Function !! Notes
|-
| '''[[Neural Network Hardware]]''' || [[PsiSys]] processing substrate || Distributed mesh computation backbone
|-
| '''[[Psi Emitter]]''' || Field generation hardware || Projects, shapes, and sustains [[Psi Field]]s
|}

=== Countermeasures & Deception ===

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
! Device !! Function !! Notes
|-
| '''[[Sparkle Flairs]]''' || Multi-modal sensor deception || Psionic chaff/flare — spoofs enemy [[Psi Scanner]] and sensors
|-
| '''[[Glitch Tech]]''' || Reality disruption device || Can function as offensive or defensive; utility in disruption operations
|}

== Gear vs. Weapons vs. Defenses ==

The distinction between Psi Gear, [[Psi Weapons]], and [[Psionic Defenses]] follows military equipment classification conventions:

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
! Category !! Primary Purpose !! Example !! Analogy
|-
| '''[[Psi Weapons]]''' || Attack/disrupt enemy || [[Psi Disruptor]], [[Mind Spike]] || Rifle, grenade
|-
| '''[[Psionic Defenses]]''' || Protect against attack || [[Defense Discs]], [[Psi Ward]] || Body armor, bunker
|-
| '''Psi Gear''' || Enable operations || [[PsiNet]], [[HelmKit]], [[Psi Scanner]] || Radio, binoculars, GPS
|}

Some devices serve dual roles:
* '''[[HelmKit]]''' — Primarily gear (sensing/interface), but provides passive defense (magnetogravitic bubble)
* '''[[Sparkle Flairs]]''' — Utility countermeasure, but employed tactically as defensive deception
* '''[[Psi Emitter]]''' — Infrastructure device, but can be configured for offensive field projection

== Standard Loadout ==

A typical [[Fusion Engine Suit]] loadout includes the following Psi Gear as standard equipment:

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
! Slot !! Device !! Status
|-
| Head || [[HelmKit]] || Standard
|-
| Mesh || [[Neural Network Hardware]] × multiple nodes || Standard
|-
| Comm || [[PsiLink]] (firmware) || Standard
|-
| Emitter || [[Psi Emitter]] × multiple || Standard
|-
| Countermeasure || [[Sparkle Flairs]] × 4–8 || Standard
|-
| Scanner || [[Psi Scanner]] (if HelmKit variant has scanning module) || Optional
|-
| Uplink || [[Psionic Resonance Uplink]] || Team-level (not individual)
|}
