Rantath Flux: A property of wormholes. Most wormholes are unstable in their rantath flux varience and this instability causes the death of anyone who tries to navigate through them. In theory, negative phase shielding allows any ship to safely go through a wormhole. When Linfer defected from the Peacekeepers, she thought she had the phase shielding problem licked but unfortunately, she was wrong. Incubator

Razaric Acid: The poison that the Varla used in the control collar they put on Pilot. If Pilot strayed from the course the Nebari wanted to travel, they would inject him with a lethal dose. A Clockwork Nebari

Royal Baby Machine: When DNA from both potential parents is put into the machine, it manufactures a representation of what their baby will look like. One possibility, anyway. Before Princess Katralla and John were married, we saw a beautiful little boy who could have been their child. Later, after John was “destatuized”, he found that Katralla was pregnant. With the help of the machine John was able to meet his daughter who wouldn’t be born for 80 cycles.  Look at the Princess, Parts 2 and 3

Royal Statue Creator: This thing actually creates royal statues. Statues containing royal people. Real live royal people. The theory is that when the next in line for the throne gets married, the newlyweds need to learn all about leadership. By becoming statues, they get a crash course in Politics and Government 101. Well, not exactly a crash course. They stay that way for 80 cycles, standing in the hall of government and learning everything there is to know about running the government. Look at the Princess, Parts 1, 2, and 3

Scanner: Zhaan first used it in They've Got a Secret to check out D'Argo after he was dumped into space. Jool used one in Thanks for Sharing to keep a watch on Crais.

Scorpius’s Clone: Scorpy inserted a neurobiotracer into Crichton’s head when he had John in the Aurora Chair. It was only supposed to map John’s neural pathways and learn whatever it could about wormhole technology but the clone developed a personality of its own. Even though Scorpius removed the tracer and the tendrils are supposed to be dead, the clone lives on in John’s mind. It’s beginning to develop a personality of its own with a sense of humor and quite a bit of an instinct for self-preservation. He’s not too fond of his creator, Scorpius, and has been giving John some hints about life in the Uncharted Territories

Scorvian Neurostroke: It looks a little bit like an industrial strength Vulcan neck pinch. Matala, the Scorvian spy disguised as an Ilonic, used the neurostroke on Aeryn to win a fight in the cargo bay gymnasium. She again used it on Crichton in one of his future flashes. Back and Back and Back to the Future

See-through Skull Machine: Diagnosan Tocot’s neurosurgery apparatus. When it’s switched on, the physician can see and work right through the skull bones without cutting skin or bone. Using this piece of equipment Tocot was able to remove the Scorpy chip from John’s head. Die Me Dichotomy; Season of Death

Seismic Disruptors (Mention Only): A planet destroying Plokavian weapon. The Ugly Truth

Self-Tracking Pulse Cannons: Automated drones that protect a planet from a low orbit. When an intruder is detected, they first give warning and if the warning is ignored, they begin shooting. The Royal Planet used this automated system to protect them during the time of the royal wedding and coronation. When John jumped out of the Jakench ship it was because  Look at the Princess, Parts 1 and 2

Sentra Device: T’raltixx’s invisibility machine. He used it to prove that he had the ability to make Moya invisible to Peacekeeper scans. John wore it around his neck when he went on his heroic mission to kill T’raltixx. Crackers Don’t Matter

Serax Carver: An excavation tool that peels off cycles of age. When it touches something living, it alters their DNA and turns the being into whatever it’s touching. Vella, one of the Interion archeologists on Arnessk was turned into stone with the carver. What Was Lost, Part 1: Sacrifice

Shatter Grenades (Mention Only): One of the “horrific weapons” manufactured by the Plokavians arms dealers. They turn bones to powder. The Ugly Truth

Skreeth Communicator: A Skreeth has the ability to communicate over long distances by means of this device. Grayza slapped the thing on Braca's forehead and, through it, spoke with the Skreeth that was stalking Crichton. When the device was removed, Braca had no memory of it. Grayza convinced him that they'd been having some great sex during the time he couldn't remember. Terra Firma

Sonic Accelerator: One of the goodies that came with D'Argo’s new ship. Revenging Angel

Sonic Ascendency Cannon: Mounted on a gun turret at the top of the ship, it’s Talyn’s largest weapon. Crais wanted to disable it and install a dampening net in its place. Ironically, Talyn shot the net salesmen with the cannon and StarBurst away. So much for that plan. In later episodes, Talyn used the cannon to destroy the Shadow Depository and Scorpius’s Marauder (without Scorpius in it).It’s about the only thing that we’ve seen that terrifies Scorpius. Bone to Be Wild, The Ugly Truth, Season of Death

Sonic Net: A net sustained by the sound voices. Peacekeepers use them in aerial combat training and the clansmen on the Royal Cemetery Planet used one to keep them from hitting bottom when they jumped into a deep well. Taking the Stone

Spectral Analysis (Mention Only): A method for depicting wave lengths visually. It’s often used to demonstrate x-ray or audio wavelengths. It was one of the tests that Kornata asked Pilot to perform when they were trying to return Aeryn to her normal self.  DNA Mad Scientist

Stasis Gun: A Peacekeeper weapon, it fires a tranquilizer to immobilize a subject.  Larraq used one to knock Rygel out when it was believed he carried the intellent virus. John, under the influence of the virus, smashed the stasis gun. A Bug’s Life

Stevva Crystals: Bomb ingredients. The bomb Rygel made to kill Durka was a bit of a dud because Rygel didn’t use enough stevva crystals. It was enough to nullify the effects of Durka’s mental cleansing though, and return him to his former self with all of his antisocial behavior intact. Durka Returns

Tak-five Torpedoes: They have warheads and fusion bonded rhenium claws. They have a hand-held firing mechanizism and can be operated by a single person. When the Budong swallowed Talyn, Aeryn attached cables to the rear and used them as mooring harpoons. Later they came in handy as an ignition source to start the cesium-water reaction that caused the budong to barf up Talyn. Green Eyed Monster

Tarbick Grenades: Exploding devices. Aeryn used them to blow up Furlow’s lab on DamBaDa.  Infinite Possibilities, Part One: Daedalus Demands; Infinite Possibilities, Part Two, Icarus Abides

Taric Deployer: The weapon Aeryn received in trade for a pulse pistol. She used it to blow the hatch and rescue the trapped children. Suns and Lovers

Tarkan Body Shield: The thieves on the lava planet had shielded harnesses that acted like body armor. The crew managed to take one with them and it came in handy saving Aeryn from the Hokothians. Lava’s a Many Splendored Thing; Promises

Telemetry Functions: One of the bells and whistles of D'Argo’s new ship. Revenging Angel

Tragan Harpoon: A leviathan-catching device used by the Tragans. Peacekeeper Wars

Throne Sled: Rygel’s method of getting around. It has an internal power source and elevates the Dominar so he can scoot along at eye level with everyone else.

Tokaar Knife: Made from bone and used by Luxans for an unnamed ritual. (Rygel implied that the ritual was something like a do-it-yourself circumcision.) Because Moya couldn’t stand to have metal used on her neural nexus, Rygel used the tokaar knife to excise the Paddoc Beacon from Moya. I, ET

Topographic Bio-Print: It shows where different life forms are located in relation to a planet’s surface. Aeryn and Zhaan were able to locate Rygel, D'Argo and John on Acquara using a topographic bio-print that showed the location of three unique bodies on the planet. Jeremiah Crichton

Trans-emitter coil: When he was building his wormhole weapon, Ancient Jack needed one to maximize the power output. Infinite Possibilities, Part One: Daedalus Demands

Transequence Ident Chip: It contains an identity code for tracking a ship, probably similar to the IFF transponder system used by humans. John changed the identity code of the one on the transport pod that he was using to get to the Jakench ship where he would hide out until his wedding to Princess Katralla. ro-NA talked him into using one that she had instead. John didn’t know it but ro-NA got it from Scorpius. Look at the Princess, Part

Venek Weapon Disabler (Mention Only): The Veneks attacking the monastery were able to dampen the defending Peacekeepers’ weapons so they had to fight them off with spears and other non-pulse weapons. The weapons the crew brought from the future weren’t affected by the dampener

Wanted Beacon: A Peacekeeper version of the post office wall, it consists of a holographic image broadcasting the offer of a reward for the capture of fugitives. It can also contain personal messages that can be accessed only with a personal password. Crais used one on Dam-Ba-Da to search for D'Argo, Zhaan, and Rygel and Scorpius used another in his search for Crichton. Til the Blood Runs Clear Crackers Don’t Matter

Wanted Beacon: This appears to be the portable size of a Peacekeeper wanted beacon. Chiana brought it to Elack after she and Rygel learned of the high price being offered for their capture. Crichton Kicks

Wetox Missile (mention only):  Probably a Luxan weapon. D'Argo wished he had one during the Sheyang attack on Moya. PK Tech Girl

Wormhole: So far the technology hasn’t been developed to use this phenomenon as a weapon but Scorpius and the Peacekeepers are working on it and Crichton and company are trying to prevent their success. The Ancients gave Crichton the wormhole technology by implanting it deep in his brain, but he hasn’t yet had the ability to access it. Scorpius has copied what John has in his brain and is working on the technology at his new Gammak base

Wrist Stiletto: Jenavian Chatto, the Peacekeeper Disrupter who saved John’s life on the Royal Planet, had a knife blade imbedded in her wrist that she could snap out in an instant – sort of a Peacekeeper version of a switch-blade knife.  Look at the Princess, Part 2

Wynnona: Crichton’s nickname for his pulse pistol. She failed him when Varla first came aboard. refusing to fire more than a few sparks. She’s since redeemed herself by saving Crichton’s butt several times, especially when he was under attack by the wormhole serpent.. A Clockwork Nebari, Self-Inflicted Wounds, Part 2

Zakkian Laser Pulse: This hasn’t been seen yet but we know that prowlers have the ability to withstand it. Aeryn ripped away a piece of her prowler and gave it John to use as a shield when he was removing T’raltixx’s modifications to Moya. She said it could withstand a Zakkian Laser Pulse. Crackers Don’t Matter
