Saiyans often rely upon their own abilities, but they have been known to use additional equipment when it is necessary. Even before their time with Frieza, the Saiyans had acquired some unique equipment, but after they joined forces with Frieza, more equipment was designed exclusively for them or was inspired by them.
Originally designed by the peaceful race that inhabited the planet of Vegita, the Saiyans decided to retain the ability to produce these suits of armor when they destroyed the other race. When Frieza first contacted the Saiyans, he was quite impressed with the technological level of the armor and acquired the ability to produce these suits, and has since then made them standard issue on all of his troops. The armor is virtually weightless, highly flexible, and instantly expandable. This allows a Saiyan to wear the armor in their normal form and then transform into an Oozaru and still be protected by the armor. This armor provides a penalty of -5% to prowl.
This is a more advanced version of the regular Saiyan Armor that Frieza’s forces designed. Very few of these suits were built before Frieza’s death, but Frieza and Captain Ginyu, leader of the mercenary group known as the Ginyu Force, wore sets. It is nearly identical to the regular Saiyan Armor, but does not have shoulder guards, hip guards, or a crotch guard, eliminating the penalty to prowl. Using technology on Earth, the Capsule Corporation was able to produce Advanced Saiyan Armor, and during the battle against the android Cell, the Saiyan warriors on Earth wore suits of armor of this type.
Designed by a race that worked briefly with Frieza before he destroyed them, these Scouters allow the wearer to determine the exact power level of any nearby person. This Scouter can also locate any creature that has a power level of over 10 within a radius of 50 miles (80.5 km). The Scouter can also be used to locate powerful magical items, such as rune objects, within a radius of 5 miles (8 km). The Scouters are also equipped with extremely powerful Faster-Then-Light transmitters and can instantly transmit information from one Scouter to another within a radius of 10 light years. Two-way communication is possible only within a radius of 2 light years.
These units are not used by most Saiyans since they prefer to rely on their personal powers instead of this kind of technology. This weapon was designed by Frieza’s forces and is standard issue with all of his non-Saiyan troops.
This is another invention of henchmen working for Frieza and is used extensively by the Saiyans. Since very few Saiyan warriors were needed in order to cleanse a planet, there was never a need to design a ship to carry large numbers of them. This pod used incredible miniaturization technology and even though it is only 5' (1.5 m) in diameter, it houses an advanced environmental system and an incredibly fuel-efficient FTL drive. Those traveling inside the pod are kept in a state of suspended animation that minimizes the resourced needed to keep them alive.
The Regeneration Tube allows any being inside of it to be healed much faster than normal. Frieza’s men had only a basic regeneration tube until the discovery of the Saiyans and using samples of Saiyan DNA, they created a new healing fluid that allows for a much greater rate of regeneration. Any being in the tube regains their S.D.C., Hit Points, ISP, and M.D.C. back at a rate of 5% per hour in the tube, this means that at maximum, no being would take longer to heal then 20 hours straight, no matter how much S.D.C., Hit Points, ISP, or M.D.C. they had. While in the tube, the being is in a state of near meditation, their body and muscles are perfectly relaxed, but their minds are active. Although most prefer to sleep while in the regeneration tube, some prefer to stay awake while they are healed.
