The Golden Rule

Intent: To provide Kiribians with a more efficient form of superluminal communication.
Development Thread: N/A
Manufacturer: Panacea
Model: N/A
Affiliation: Kiribian Systems Union
Modularity: No
Production: Production: Minor
Material: Villip Membrane, Oggzil Membrane, Nutrient Pack, Processor/Adapter Module, Encryption Module, Protective Casing
Description:
Eying a position in the lucrative holo-communications industry, Panacea would begin to take its foray into the competitive field with its own offering, the bio-comm. While options already existed for superluminal communication, the bio-comm platform requires much less infrastructure for operation and is practically immune to conventional forms of jamming.
Together, membranes of lab-grown villip and oggzil are used as a telepathic transceiver, able to pass along information instantaneously within a network at any distance between nodes. In this way, the bio-comm's operation is very similar to how the Yuuzhan Vong uses their villips for communication. However, within the bio-comm, the biots only serve to pass encrypted data as an antenna. The users never directly interact with the biots. Instead, a processor module is used to decrypt the information, then pass it along to other systems to convert into a usable format for the end user. The process acts as a security measure to ensure that no one can simply jack into the bio-comm network without proper clearance. Another element of security is to use multiple networks developed through different strains of villip. Bits of information are broken up and passed through several different networks, then reconfigured at the destination node. Access to every network would be required to even have a gleam at the encrypted data being passed. The encryption is a quantum key system that can detect the presence of intruders without keys. Brute force methods to crack the encryption would take eons.
The delicate internal components are placed within a heavy protective casing, protecting it from shock and biological contamination (including the disintegrating effects of disruptor weapons). Because the system works off a type of telepathic mode of communication, the casing also serves as a faraday cage, completely enveloping the components in an enclosed system, providing ample protection against EMPs and ion weaponry.
Panacea is very protective of this technology, deploying it sparingly. An example would be connecting two isolated holo networks located in different quadrants of the galaxy, instead of relying on a costly and complicated relay of transceivers lodged in hyperspace. The Kiribian military also makes extensive use of the technology because the difficulty to jam it. Panacea works closely with Kiribian Systems Armory on joint projects related to the deployment of bio-comms.
If there is a drawback to the technology, it is the need to constantly monitor the health of the biot components to ensure that they receive a proper dose of nutrients to function. However, maintenance usually only involves swapping out nutrient packs every few weeks.
