Kreed riders seem to use a very basic saddle, ...

A vehicle/ship class from the Star Wars universe
The Lancer frigate is a fairly small (250 meter) warship originally used by the Galactic Empire.

A technology from the CoDominium universe
The Langston Field is an energy absorbing shield. It was first mentioned in The Mote in God's Eye and the World War series.

A technology from the Battlestar Galactica (1978) universe
The laser pistol used by the troops and pilots of the Colonial Fleet is a medium sized firearm. Fairly bulky, it was carried in a low slung hip holster.
