- Intent: To create a secure network to the Ashlan Crusade.
- Image Source: Header | Network 1 | Network 2 | Headers: Kainan Wolfe
- Canon Link: N/A
- Permissions: N/A
- Primary Source: HPINet
- Name: ACNet
- Manufacturer: HPI Consortium
- Affiliation: HPI Consortium | Ashlan Crusade | SAINT | MANIAC
- Market Status: Closed-Market
- Model: AC-INWS.V4 | Ashlan Crusade Integrated Network System
- Modularity: Yes
- Connection protocols must be followed, but different access levels can be given or taken.
- Production: Mass-Produced
- Material: Electronic components | code | digits | Subspace transceiver | Hyperwave transceiver | HoloNet relay
- General Information: (ACNet)
- A secure network that connects Ashlan Crusade's interests in the galaxy (mostly in the Unknown Region) with a multi-functional communications network.
- SAINT supervision and control the ACNet, which means that the AIs is able to be there on the entire network, they supervise the data flows, information flow, encryption, and they also allocates the different access levels based on their databases.
- The ACNet has multiple and multiple level encryption systems, with multiple levels of firewall to protect data and communication between endpoints and they also protect against hacking and eavesdropping. This process is helped by various anti-virus programs as well.
- Encrypted messages are only able to be decoded by the receiving party if they have the same level of encryption protocols as the message's sender.
- With SAINT, the encodings are constantly changing, so if someone gets a decoder, it wouldn’t be easy to hack the network either.
- Cross-platform; the ACNet does not differentiate between different devices, it can be a simple datapad or just a communication centre for a warship, hospital, or military base, they are able to connect to each other.
- The ACNet is fast and can send large amounts of data between endpoints.
- It is possible to connect to the network both physically and wirelessly.
- Basically, the ACNet uses the Ashlan Crusade's own satellites and transceivers, but it is also perfectly capable of transmitting information on the HoloNet satellite system and transceiver, but does not use the HoloNet. It bypasses the system and only uses the hardware.
- Emergency protocol, call and communication channel towards SAINT can be started and created from anywhere, anytime. If there is a real emergency, the AI will act immediately. Because this cannot be done anonymously, if someone abuses it, they will be severely punished.
- You can be on many networks at the same time and even use countless communication channels.
- It includes news, music, holofilms, holobooks, HoloNet games, social media, and more. So this whole thing is much more than a communication network / channel. The whole thing can also be a great social network where you can spend whole days having fun, watching series, etc..
- There are several huge social media sites available from the system, not only the state level ones or planet and system level ones, but of course the Galaxy level ones are available as well (if that exists).
- ACNet is also HoloNet compatible, so you can connect to HoloNet and talk, play, and do other things with others through ACNet.
- Every feed that is available in the Galaxy via HoloNet is also available on the ACNet.
- Of course, the ACNet is also capable of all the functions like HoloNet.
- Ashlan Network: (AN)
- An Imperium sized network that is available to all Ashlan Crusade residents.
- It is still available from outside the system with the proper codes and access, although it is not explicitly optimal, as this network contains only the news of the Imperium, or the states' own networks, services, systems, media, social media.
- This network already has several levels/layers:
- General Network: that is available to anyone. However, outside and inside the Ashlan Crusade, citizen codes are already required to access it.
- Planet Level Networks: each planet in Ashlan Crusade also has its own network; only citizens are eligible to use their own network. Diplomats, ambassadors also only have limited access to the foreign network.
- Personal Level Networks: these are the most common connections, networks. They are constantly opening, closing, not permanent in nature. For example these are the private conversations between two people or just between a group and/or groups. So the basic level of general communication.
- The Intelligence Network: (TIN or Battle net)
- An Imperium size network that is available only for the state level armies and the state's intelligence.
- This network is not available from outside the system, just the Intelligence Network.
- This network also has several levels/layers:
- Separate Battle Nets: each planet and region in Ashlan Crusade also has its own network; only their own planetary army is eligible to use their own network.
- Separate Intelligence Networks: each state in Ashlan Crusade also has its own network; only their own planetary intelligence agencies are eligible to use their own network.
- Personal Level Networks: these are the most common connections, networks. They are constantly opening, closing, not permanent in nature. For example these are the private conversations between two officers, agents or just between military group members and/or groups. So the basic level of general communication.
- Ashlan Crusade Battle Network: (ACBN)
- The military network; it has even more security than the previous two, for obvious reasons. It has a fairly centralized outreach, as it must only operate between the fleet, army, headquarters, and high command.
- Here, in this case, ships typically play the role of transceivers, but of course traditional modes also work. But available from the entire Galaxy, it is not as localized as TIN.
- This system can only be accessed by those who are soldiers and officers of Ashlan Army and Navy.
- Those who are Ashlan Army and Navy officers can also access civilian personal data through SAINT if they have permission. Thus, the allocation of rights here is much stricter than in previous cases, in order to avoid abuses.
- This network also has several levels/layers:
- General Battle Net: the general network available to all Ashlan Crusade's soldiers (army and fleet).
- Fleet Battle Net: the general network available to all Fleet members.
- Army Battle Net: the general network available to all Army members.
- Sister Network: the Sister's of Ashla’s own personal network.
- The Papacy Network: The Clergy's own personal network.
- Holy Jury: The Holy Jury member's own personal network.
- WorkForce Network: The WorkForce’s own personal network.
- Mercenaries/Militia Network: The Mercenaries/Militia 's personal network.
- Separated Networks and Channels: these are the combat level communications, which the soldiers, units, armies, fleets, etc. use to communicate with each other or the offices, command centres on the battlefield. They are constantly opening, closing, not permanent in nature.
- Personal Level Networks: outside of combat, these are the most common connections, networks. They are constantly opening, closing, not permanent in nature. For example these are the private conversations between two officers, agents or just between military group members and/or groups. So the basic level of general communication.
- Ministry of Intelligence Network: (MIN)
- It is the second most secure part of the ACNet. Network of the Ministry of Intelligence. Only MIN agents, or leaders of the state, have access to this. External and internal intelligence data can be retrieved from this system by the Ministry of Intelligence and House of Lords.
- In each case, SAINT decides how much information and data the people of MIN or House of Lords can receive about the files, person, and information they requested.
- This network also has several levels/layers:
- General Network: the general network available to employees of the entire MIN.
- Agent Networks: these are the fieldwork level communications, which the agents, investigators, interrogation officers etc. use to communicate with each other or the offices, command centres while they are working. They are constantly opening, closing, not permanent in nature.
- Personal Level Networks: outside of fieldwork, these are the most common connections, networks. They are constantly opening, closing, not permanent in nature. For example these are the private conversation between two officers, agents or just between a group members and/or groups. So the basic level of general communication.
- Knightly Orders of Ashla Network: (KOAN)
- It is the most secure and secret part of the ACNet, the Knights and Force User can access the network.
- This network also has several levels/layers:
- General Channel: the general network available for all the Knightly Orders members.
- Padawan Level: The channel of the Padawans, they are at the padawan / disciple level.
- Knight Level: Channel of the Knights of the Order.
- Master Level: The channel of the Jedi masters of the Order.
- Inner Circle Level: Channel of the Leaders of the Orders.
- Personal Level Networks: outside of fieldwork, these are the most common connections, networks. They are constantly opening, closing, not permanent in nature. For example these are the private conversation between two officers, agents or just between a group members and/or groups. So the basic level of general communication.
- House of Lords Network: (HLN)
- It is the most secure and secret part of the ACNet, only House of Lords members, the Order leaders, political, religious leaders and the Imerpium's leaders can access the network.
- Secure Network: The ACNet is secured and encrypted, and there are multiple levels of access to make the ACNet even more secure.
- High Protection: The ACNet has multiple and multiple level encryption systems, with multiple levels of firewall to protect data and communication between endpoints and they also protect against hacking and eavesdropping. This process is helped by various anti-virus programs as well.
Big sister… SAINT: They detects, sees, reads and hears all the activity that goes through the ACNet, if necessary, the AI intervenes immediately.- MANIAC watching over us: Maniac has monitoring rights over the SAINT's systems and networks, He mostly monitors, protects, and controls - when needed - them. These rights were always authorised by the AC's leadership (IC and OOC) or Eina L'lerim-Vandiir (IC). Note: it is only valid as long the AC staff allows it.
- Registration: Anyone who wants to use the network must register, which means the state must provide data about themselves. Because of this, for example the Eclipse Rebellion cannot use the network.
- Out of Network: If one of the devices is disconnected from the ACNet for some reason, it will not be able to access the network and can't send/receive any message. Also, from the network side, the protection of numerous protection mechanisms of the system does not prevail, thus making the device more vulnerable for example on the HoloNet.
- Network Coverage: Own network coverage is quite limited, as the Ashlan Crusade does not have transceivers in the entire Galaxy, so in many cases HoloNet transceivers must be used, which is why the ACNet is only available where either their own transceivers are located, or the HoloNet's. Where none is available, the ACNet is not available.
- Speed: There is a significant slowdown in sending/receiving huge/giant data packets if the ACNet has to use the HoloNet satellite system and transceiver.

It is important for every planet, company, army, empire or even secret organization to have its own secure network through which they can communicate or send data to each other. The Ashlan Crusade is no exception.
It is for this reason that they have decided to set up their own well-protected network, which will be supervised, controlled and managed by SAINT. The civilian population and the military, as well as each part of the army, received their own separate network with different insurances and protections.
ACNet works perfectly throughout the Tingel Arms, it is impeccable, the original HPINet and EENet was tested on the battlefield in the last days of the Third Civil War and under the siege of Korriban and it worked excellently there as well.
This is why the Ashlan Crusade ordered this from the HPI Consortium after they made an alliance with the Eternal Empire. The downside, perhaps, is that it can be daunting that anyone who wants to use it can, so to speak, the state is able to spy on them, as AIs make it easy to track down anyone.
HoloNet is still available, this does not exclude it from the area where the ACNet exists, if someone wants to use the HoloNet, they can still connect to it. The purpose of creating the ACNet was to allow them to communicate and send data over a more secure network than HoloNet, in a place that is not accessible to everyone in the Galaxy.
Although the Ashlan Crusade do not have transceivers everywhere in the Galaxy, the network has built with the ability to use both HoloNet's transceivers and its hardware for messaging and data transmission, so the ACNet can be used from anywhere in the Galaxy with HoloNet coverage.
