SPECIAL FEATURES
The Captain's Choice CC-C/S23 Enhanced Tracking Package is, officially, an expanded signal tracing and decoding program designed for military and law enforcement use. Unofficially, the C/S23 has ended up in plenty of hands outside official military and law enforcement circles. The package works by providing a comprehensive signal tracing program designed to intercept and triangulate transmissions through both subspace and hyperspace. It can also be used to decode intercepted transmissions, and to tap the IFF transponders of broadcasting starships. The C/S23 also relays through the comm-scan array on any ship it's connected to, piggybacking off it to increase the effective range and efficiency of the system.
While the tracing program is extensive, there are some transmission types that simply can't be tracked, like PTP or laser communicators. The decoding program is also fairly basic and the IFF interrogator can be fooled with false signals and signatures. Likewise, if the ship's communications or scanner array is compromised, or substandard, in any way this can impact the effectiveness of the tracking package. Yet against many common forms of anonymous communication, the C/S23 is a formidable counter provided by Captain's Choice.
- Scalable and adaptable to different ship designs, sizes, and classes.
- Full suite of transmission tracing and tapping equipment.
- Signal Receiver, Interceptor, and Tapper suite.
- Monitoring Beacon transmission tapper.
- Holotrace program.
- Connection Trace calculation program.
- Sonic Scanner with Communications Wave Descrambler upgrade.
- Interrogator Module for transponder tapping.
- Runs through comm-scan program for range and sensitivity.
- Efficient Eavesdropper: The C/S23 is able to trade a broad range of common subspace and hyperspace transmissions, with the ability to triangulate and identify the source of said transmissions.
- Decoder Ring: The C/S23 package does come with programs designed to unscramble communications and access ship identifying data such as IFF signals and signatures.
- Range Boost: Since the C/S23 taps into a ship's comm-scan system for its range and sensitivity, stronger equipment can result in better coverage and efficiency on tracing and decoding.
- Gone Without A Trace: Some forms of communication like comm lasers, flashers, or PTP links are simply untraceable, so the C/S23 is useless against them.
- Comm-Tower of Babel: The decoding systems in the C/S23 are pretty basic and won't crack anything sophisticated or military-grade, all you'll get is encoded gibberish.
- System Limits: Since the C/S23 partially runs through a ship's comm-scan array, if the array is taken down or is low-performance to begin with, it can hamper the effectiveness of the program.
