GalNet repeater station

The marvelous instantaneos communication technology of the Union,simply called GalNet has limited range. To extend its range repeater or relais stations are needed. They can be built inside deep space structures or on the surface of planets and other celestial real estate.

Most repeater stations are fully automated and only have a "Crew" of a service robot and repair nanites.

However some repeaters, especially those on planets may be part  of an occupied complex.

Larger repeater stations handling the com traffic for core regions often have crews of technicians.

SII has a large fleet of GalNet service ships that perform repairs and maintenance.
