Tachyon Radio

Tachyon Radio

this is a general term describing FTL communication devices using any of the Super exotic particles of the Tachyon and Trans Quantum Tachyon Family. While the Instantaneous GalNet and GalCom systems of the Union are based on a secret and highly classified principle, some Non Union Experts believe it is also based on tachyons.

Tachyon Radio seems to appear with most Translight societies reaching Tech Level 7. All known Tachyon Radio systems are inferior to GalNet and usually have limited range, and are limited to relative small data streams. (Text, audio and in rare occasions visual)

The most advanced Tachyon Radio (known) was developed by the Blue, with a range of 200 light years and a delay of 0.5 seconds per Light year (1.6 Min at maximum range) The Blue Tachyon Radio was able to send the most data per second.

The crudest Tachyon System is used by the Xandrao and Jooltar with maximum range of 10 LY and a delay of 1 min per LY.

Tachyon Radio Systems range everywhere in-between.

The smallest TR is manufactured by the Mini Terrans with only 7 x 3 x 2 cm and the largest is the Nul Nul TR with 11 x 11 x 6 meters.

All Union Ships (all Fleet and most Civilian) are equipped wit Tachyon Radios to hail and talk to those who have no GalNet/ GalCom.
