| + | The most common form of communications remains the courier vessel - a small warp drive equipped starship that carries data transmissions and occasionally physical objects to other star systems where they can be sent to their intended recipients. | ||

| - | ===== Spacer Collective Transmissions ===== | + | An Ansible is a communications device that relies on entangled particle pairs to communicate between two specific devices. An Ansible is only capable of communicating with its twin, but can do so live and regardless of distance (or at a distance limit beyond our understanding of Etheric Science). An Ansible is a large device, about the size of an archaic gaming cabinet, and requires constant power and regular maintenance. If the device destabilises, the entangled particle it contains may lose its connection to its pair, or simply evaporate, leaving the device a useless box until another entangled particle pair can be transferred into it. |
| + | ===== Spacer Collective Transmissions ===== | ||
| + | The primary service the Spacer Collective offers is the ability to send communications instantly between any of their stations situated across the Orion Sphere. Communications can take the form of simple messages at the cheaper end, larger text or video transmissions, or two-way holographic communications at the most expensive end. Spacer Collective communications are near-instantaneous, with the only delays being processing the message through the Collective's submission process. The messages do not travel through space in any conventional way that we understand, so intercepting them being transmitted from Spacer station to Spacer station is beyond the reach of any known group. However, the Collective do not apply any encryption themselves, so if you wish a message to remain secret if intercepted, you must provide your own encryption. | ||
