T-GAP

The most practical and sophisticated tool of communication ever developed, T-GAP [Trans-Global Access Point] is for the exclusive use of TWELVE STARS EURO TEAM members. The T-GAP is a tele-communicator with a high resolution screen. Using satellite technology, it enables members of the TWELVE STAR EURO TEAM to access data from the Twelve Star's own base computer. And that's not all! The T-GAP also incorporates any number of useful plug-ins, including a Geiger counter, a radar locator, an internet facility and a holographic projector. It also gives the time.



EUROVISORS

These inconspicuously stylish sunglasses conceal some top secret technology. An in-built chip produces a visualisation reminiscent of X-rays, enabling Captain Euro and his team to see through a wall or detect concealed weapons immediately.



TSI PIN

The TWELVE STAR IDENTIFICATION PIN is the official badge of the TWELVE STARS EURO TEAM. Each pin has the sophistication of an in built computer chip containing recorded information about the person who is wearing it. The TSI pin verifies access to the ATOMIUM and the EUROCORDE.



EUROCAR

Externally, the EUROCAR may resemble a classic European sport car, but beneath it's impenetrable plexi-flurocarbonite bonnet it resembles no other vehicle. Employing secret experimental technology, it's solar engine is the most powerful ever made and is the result of the joint efforts of various European car makers. The Eurocar is uniquely successful in integrating Eco friendly car technology with dynamic performance. The Eurocar is able to reach speeds of up to 400 K per hour, it does not respect speed limits across Europe, but maximum power is reserved for extreme circumstances. ERIK, supported by MARCUS, is often to be found under the bonnet of the Eurocar, updating and incorporating the latest gadgets.



EURORACER

Fashioned from an advanced alloy, EURORACER seems to run at the speed of light. Like the EUROCAR, its engine utilises solar power, and contains remarkable new experimental ceramic materials able to withstand extreme temperatures. But wait! This versatile piece of hardware can be converted to travel over water and snow. Each member of the TWELVE STARS EURO TEAM has a Euroracer, personalising them with their own particular devices and giving them special names. Euroracer zips across the landscape on tyres, constructed of a new kind of impenetrable rubber. Equipped with ultra-laser beams, it can slice through steel and concrete. With technology such as this, who needs roads?


EUROUTFIT

This complete body suit is a multi-purpose uniform for the TWELVE STARS EURO TEAM. With additional accessories it can be used in space, under water or in radioactive environments. The EUROUTFIT is made of a lightweight, thermal material which is suitably protective and comfortable in any kind of environment. An invaluable aid to research and police forces, it was developed by the scientific arm of the Twelve Stars Euro Team. Naturally, the exact location of the manufacturer is top secret. The EUROUTFIT sports a surprising air bag system designed to protect in any eventuality. The boots incorporate a novel spring technology (activated by changeable password commands) which catapults the wearer several meters higher than they would normally be able to jump.



EUROSTUNNER

A tiny device of pocket size dimensions, the EUROSTUNNER is able to emit an ultrasound frequency with which the members of the TWELVE STARS EURO TEAM can defend themselves from their enemies by temporarily paralysing them. It's frequency setting can be digitally customised, according to use and situation. The Eurostunner has other facilities: it can emit a powerful laser beam which may be used as a cutter.



EUROJET

Electrically powered, EUROJET is sleek and deadly fast. It's joystick controls are ultra-responsive. The Eurojet self assembles at the touch of a button - ready for use in any place, for any eventuality.



EUROSUB

Able to reach any depth, using sea water as energy, the EUROSUB is used for oceanographic exploration, rather than pursuit and adventure. The design of the Eurosub is based on the flowing lines of a dolphin. When it is not in use, this prototype submarine is kept in an underwater hangar just off the Mediterranean coast.



EUROCORDE

The latest in aerodynamic efficiency and stealth technology, the EUROCORDE is as noiseless as a butterfly. Its engine runs from a new secret energy source. Capable of MACH 3.5, the Eurocorde can make London to New York in 1 hour. Also able to take off and land almost anywhere, utilising VTOL technology, it can be used to carry the EUROCAR and other vehicles.



THE ATOMIUM

The ATOMIUM is the TWELVE STAR EURO TEAM'S headquarters. It is the centre of a network of advanced communications and information technology.

The Atomium building is made of nine interconnected spheres, each of which serves a specific function:

AREA 1: CONFERENCE SPHERE
AREA DESCRIPTION: At the top of the Atomium, this is where Twelve Stars Euro Team meets for urgent and formal talks. It is here that the ancient and original STAR OF EUROPE is kept behind bomb proof glass.

AREA 2: CONTROL SPHERE.
AREA DESCRIPTION: Managed by PYTHAGORAS 1, the Control Sphere stores infinite data and information, constantly accumulating knowledge for the use of Twelve Stars Euro Team. The control room includes a wall screen where the team can visualise data and geographic positioning via satellite reconnaissance systems. All Twelve Stars Euro Team actions are coordinated from the Control Sphere.

AREA 3: HI-TECH SPHERE
AREA DESCRIPTION: Experimental technology is tested here. All Twelve Stars Euro Team vehicles and gadgets are developed here by MARCUS.

AREA 4: ENVIRONMENTAL SPHERE
AREA DESCRIPTION: Environmental research and new energy sources are researched and developed from the Environmental Sphere. Run by EUROPA, it collaborates with the High Tech Sphere in order to make all Twelve Stars vehicles environmentally safe.

AREA 5: SPACE SPHERE
AREA DESCRIPTION: With ERIK'S eyes fixed on the stars, all space research and SPACE STATION EUROPA planning and control take place in the Space Sphere.

AREA 6: CYBER SPHERE
AREA DESCRIPTION: Inside the Cyber Sphere a top secret project is being developed by the Twelve Stars Euro Team.

AREA 7: MEDIA SPHERE
AREA DESCRIPTION: This is the only sphere which non Twelve Stars Euro Team members can access, and, as such, is used for press and media conferences.

AREA 8: SPORT SPHERE
AREA DESCRIPTION: Twelve Star Euro Team members come to the Sport Sphere to push their physical and mental capacities to the limit, through physical games and activities organised by HELEN. New sporting technology is also under developent in the Sport Sphere, from the latest ergonomically enhanced footwear with environment sensitive soles, to electronic response training equipment.

AREA 9: KNOWLEDGE SPHERE
AREA DESCRIPTION: This is the cultural development centre for art and music. ERIK is often to be found painting here.

ENVIRONMENT: UNDERGROUND VEHICLE FACILITY
AREA DESCRIPTION: Under the Atomium a large underground facility hides the fleet of the Twelve Stars Euro Team's Vehicles including the EUROCAR and the experimental EUROCORDE.
