However, Syntek restricts itself to mainly interstellar applications and cybernetics. Syntek spacedrives are considered the best, and Syntek provides the Navy with over 75% of thier stardrives, as well as hulls, sensor systems and communication arrays. For the Terran Marines the Syntek Corporation provides thier heavy combat vehicles and air support vehicles.While Syntek rarely, if ever, produces new technologies, Syntek equipment is considered the best available on the civilian market, and well worth the price. Syntek does not produce weapons, armor or defensive systems.Game MechanicsStardrives: Syntek only produces PL 7 and lower drives, but the drives cost 10% less, are 50% faster than normal, and cost 75% of normal rates for repair due to the excellent availability of parts for Syntek Stardrives, which are built to be able to accept other companies spare parts.Hulls: A Syntek hull gains an extra 2 hp per HD.Sensors: The sensors are much faster at collecting/correllating data and the software is much better at categorizing the data, reducing the time needed for a sensor check by half.Commo: The communications equipment is much better. The laser transceiver can generate encrypted messages, and can use visual light spectrums in order to allow communication through defense shields. The Drivesat Comm Array signals move at 7.5 LY/hour, and the communications officer gains a +2 equipment check to avoid losing the signal if the ship moves. The Syntek Drivesat Comm Array can be put on a light ship, unlike other companies drives. The Mass Transciver's range is extended to 1,200 AU.Vehicles: Vehicles do not incorporate any technology higher than PL 7, but they gain a +5 hardness, +25% hit points and a 10% speed increase.Cybernetics: Cyberentics produced by the Syntek Corporation cost as if they were created at one PL earlier, and the Syntek Corporation creates PL 8 cybernetics, as well as some limited PL 9 chassis for the Terran Confederate Marine Corps. Syntek Cybernetics are considered Restricted or Military, rather than just liscensed or unliscensed.</blockquote>
