As with any spacefaring nation, communication is key. FTL communications doubly so as conventional communications simply cannot cut it over the vast expanses of space. Interstellar nations cannot function efficiently, nor can battles be coordinated effectively without reliable lines of communication. The Sahaad knowing this have spent many years developing and refining various means to find solutions to these issues. One solution was the usage of subspace tunneling to send signals or enhance the range of conventional systems.
Below is a list of communication systems used by the Sahaad Confederacy:
Communication System | Type | Broadcast Pattern | Range | Detectability |
---|---|---|---|---|
Laser | Visible EM | Directed, Requires Line of Sight | 300 000 KM | Low |
Radio | Visible EM | Radial | 155 000 KM | Medium |
Microwave | Microwave Emissions | Directed Area | 300 000 KM | High |
Subspace-Assisted Laser | Subspace-Laser | Directed to Point of Arrival | 15 LY | Low/Medium |
Subpace-Assisted Radio | Subspace-Assisted Radio | Radial from Point of Arrival | 20 LY + 155 000 KM at Point of Arrival | Medium/High |
Fiber Optic Network | Wired Visible Light Pulses | Point to Point Wired Network | Limited by Network Size | None |
