I ordered several for the kids. They wore them for a day, but have been playing with them on other toys.

The magnets on the back really fasten these to metal!

They could be used for pricey refrigerator magnets?

Brian (the maker) also makes some wonderful small keychain style tools. I am looking forward to his knives and lights.

Thanks again, Brian!

John

Combadge

The combadge is a combination of a badge and communicator designed to be worn on a uniform. In Starfleet, the combadge replaced standalone communicators in the early 24th century. Similar devices are used by other organizations, including the Bajoran Militia. In Starfleet, the combadge in worn on the left breast of the person's uniform, whereas the Bajoran Militia's combadge is worn on the right breast of the uniform.

Combadges are used for on board ship communication with other Starfleet personnel when, using the internal communication system is not possible or impractical, for accessing the onboard computer when not in an area that the computer is monitoring, for ship-to-shore communications, and for direct communication to another combadge. Combadges are configured to act as universal translators. (DS9: "For the Uniform"; VOY: "The 37's", "Investigations")

Due to the size of the combadge, its working range is limited to five hundred kilometers, although a starship can boost the signal to bridge larger distances. (TNG: "11001001") The combadge can be opened for maintenance purposes or to be used as a beacon. (TNG: "Brothers"; VOY: "Coda")

In emergency situations, a combadge can be modified for use in other applications. It can be converted into a subspace distress beacon, or the tiny power cell can be extracted for other uses. Lieutenant Worf used it to power a home-made field generator for several seconds. If the casing of the combadge is ever cracked, an emergency distress signal is emitted. (TNG: "A Fistful of Datas"; VOY: "Time and Again") The Starfleet combadge can be deactivated by tapping it twice in rapid succession. (TNG: "The Game"; DS9: "Past Tense, Part II") (Note: the EMH of USS Voyager used this technique not to deactivate his combadge, but to gain the attention of the ship's crew (VOY: "Caretaker")

As a symbol of loss of membership in Starfleet, personnel that have resigned or have been relieved of duty must turn in their combadges. (DS9: "Paradise Lost") Taking off one's combadge constitutes taking off one's uniform. (TNG: "Redemption", "Journey's End"; DS9: "Tacking Into the Wind", "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges")


Combadges can even be useful as a way to beam off explosive devices like this oneCombadges can be used by the transporter as a way to lock on to any Starfleet personnel, or object with a combadge attached, thus making transport faster and more accurate. Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge used his combadge to allow the transporter to beam off an explosive device that the Ansata terrorists planted on the USS Enterprise-D during their mission on Rutia IV. (TNG: "The High Ground")
