Lorath Communications Systems

Communications are a key component to establishing a civilization, exploration, and military ventures, thus, communications technology is essential. The Lorath have developed a series of communication methods to allow them to communicate between themselves, other ships, and even other nations.

Due to the duration which the Lorath have required the need to communicate, several methods of communication have become common place on Lorath civilian and military applications.

Through the use of transmitted signals on an electromagnetic band, the Lorath are capable of sending communications across large distances, this system relies on a signal which is limited by the speed of light.

A directed beam of transmitted light or energy can be aimed at a target receiver, the beam can then carry a signal which can only be received by the receiver on the path of the beam. As with radio communications, the signal's speed is limited by the speed of light.

In close proximity operations, planetary operations, and in-ship operations, wired communications are still used. Utilizing standard electrical signals through highly conductive wire, wired communication allows for the rapid transmission of data between two locations. This method of communication is limited by the speed of light.

Lorath vehicles, ships, and mecha have a built in feature which allows for any surface of the vehicle to be made into a connection for communications. This system allows for two vehicles to quickly establish a secure communications link and to quickly exchange data.

Through the use of the Lorath's preexisting and cybernetics granted psionic capabilities, psionic communications have become possible. Artificial delta and alpha wave signal transmitters, amplifiers, and receivers allow for the rapid exchange of data through psionic signal transmission. Unfortunately, these devices have been designed for Lorath brainwaves, thus can not be utilized by alien species, however an augmented communication hub can be provided to off-worlders on request to allow for communications access.
