GalNet Buoys

GalNet Buoy

An automated robotic device placed in deep space to amplify and relay GalNet communication. Also called a Relay Buoy.

GalNet Buoys extend the range of standard GalNet Devices in its vicinity to about 1000 Light Years. The majority of the buoys (several million exist) are of Type III (Shown) and have a range of 1000 Light years and are limited to the basic GalNet Services. ( Data) and a volume of 20 Million Connections per second. These buoys also have separate GalCom and Military GalCom systems.

Every 500 Buoys are clustered around a manned Master Station.

These Buoys have a robot and Nanite crew to perform maintenance and basic repairs.

Buoys are not shielded or armed but are considered of Strategic importance and are under the protection of the Federal Government.

Union armed forces and law enforcement agencies are authorized to use lethal force to ensure the integrity of the GalNet network.

GalNet Buoys are tamper proof as they immediately self destruct if unauthorized accessed.

SII is constantly updating the Buoy net and is currently deploying Type IV, that has a greater range and increased capacity ( Avatar enabled traffic is very data intensive). Although there are already Type V in service (allowing Matter Radio Transfers) a Union wide Type V net is not expected to be complete until 5080.
