GalNet Range and Operational Limits

Ranges.pngt Range and Operational Limits
Data Type: Audio, Visual, all Data types, Avatar Data Streams, monetary transactions, energy [1]

Time delay : None
 * GalNet Data Enabled PDD's and small devices such as Data Heads have a range of about 5 light years. A GalNet Buoy or Master Station must be in that range to keep themconnected to GalNet.
 * Standard GalNet Terminals have a range of about 10 Light years and a GalNet Buoy or  Master Station must be within that range.
 * Long Range PDD's (only manufactured by SII) and Military PDD's have a range of 50 Light Years.
 * Long Range GalNet Terminals have a range of up to 100 Light Years.
 * Master Stations Have a range of 2000 Light Years, (Relay Stations of the latest generation reach up to 5000 light Years.
 * GalNet Central on Ulta Moon has the maximum range currently acchieveable ( 10,000 Light Years)
 * Auto Docs connected to Med Central (MedCom) have a range of 50 LY
 * Military PDD's have a range of 50 LY
 * Union Ships usually are equipped with Master Stations (GalNet, GalCom, Med Com and MIL COM) have a range of 2000 LY

GAL COM

Gal Com only offeres 2D Visuals and Sound. Time Delay: None - GalCom PDD enabled Devices have a range of 50 LY. Needs much less engergy than GalNet (but needs its own energy source)

Master Stations uo to 3000 LY

[1] GalNet can transmit up to 50KW/hr to Power Recievers (for a fee) and all GalNet Terminals are usually energy independent.

Myon Transponders

Myon Transponders can send messages (Analog Sound or simple Analog Visuals ) over great distance ( 20,000 -50,000 Light Years and even further) but the Signal travels only at about 512 time the speed of light. A message sent across 100 Light Years takes 71 days to reach its destination. (Ships of TL 6 are faster)

TLFAX

500-600 LY - Simple Digital or analog signals. 15,000 times TL - Faster than most ships but Still not instantaneous and range is limited to 500 -600 LY.

Long Range Telepaths

Range 10,000 -15,000 light years. LR Telepaths are handicapped creepy creatures, instable and suicide prone. Only thought - Messages - Simple Pictures or short spoken messages. One must trust the LRT to send the Message correctly - Other Telepaths can listen in. Message transmission is instant
