This kit is designed to equip the crew-member with the minimum level of necessary equipment to perform any ship-board Mission. It facilitates communication, online collaboration and real-time reporting. Additional mission-specific equipment may be required as-needed.
If a Workstation is not available, a PADD can be used as a substitute for many missions. But there are some capabilities that no PADD is able to emulate.
Personnel are expected to assemble these kits themselves, and should consider this a 'bare minimum' list of required items.
