Environment Manipulation Unit

The Environment Manipulation Unit (E.M.U.) was designed by Starfleet Corps of Engineers in an effort to integrate Medusans into Starfleet. The first step was the installation of a radiation shield in front of the upgraded Constitution-class transporters, thereby removing the need for Starfleet cress needing a protective visor when transporting Medusans.

The E.M.U. Mk I resembled the original habitat shell but was upright and streamlined. It came equipped with inbuilt antigravs and a set of robotic manipulator arms in recesses along its sides. The lid of the E.M.U. had a domelike shape that vaguely implied a head and was more secure against accidental opening.
