Landing parties are issued communicators, tricorders and, when conditions warrant, phasers. Phasers come in three varieties: the concealable hand phaser, the pistol phaser, and the phaser rifle. Phasers can be set for varying effects, from Stun to Heat, Disrupt, or Disintegrate.

 

A variety of medical instruments are issued to doctors for the treatment of injuries and wounds on landing party missions.

For missions with hazardous atmosphere which do not require a spacesuit, a breathing mask will be issued.
