PRODUCTION INFORMATION
Manufacturer: Visanj T’shkali
Affiliation: Closed-Market
Model: Detsk Bio-Communications System
Modularity: None
Production: Limited
Material(s):
- Villip Membrane
- Oggzil Membrane
- Nutrient Pack
- Lambent Crystals
- Encryption Module
SPECIAL FEATURES:
- Infinite-ranged, instantaneous, and with incredible stability and integrity, the Detsk system can allow real-time transfer of information literally from one side of the galaxy to another with no signal degradation or corruption.
- Quantum key distribution scrambled portions of messages over several telepathic networks, encrypting and decrypting them with quantum key encryption protocols, making slicing and jamming practically impossible.
STRENGTHS:
- Infinite-ranged and instantaneous communications able to convey audio and visual information between nodes.
- Able to function under their own power; not reliant on external power supplies.
- Impervious to jamming and virtual impossible to slice.
- Highly-resistant to EMP/Ion and radiation damage, indirect weapons fire, and moderate kinetic damage.
WEAKNESSES:
- Direct hits by powerful weapons can disable and/or destroy the devices.
- Failure to maintain sufficient nutrition for organics will degrade and eventually disable the devices.
DESCRIPTION:
Telepathy is a very interesting science. Not only can simple communications such as words be exchanged, but memories, images, whole volumes of data can be transferred from one mind to another. This was the basis of the Yuuzhan Vong communications technology, which allowed telepathic communications to be conveyed from one villip to another across any distance – even one side of the galaxy to the other – at virtually instantaneous speeds with incredibly integrity and stability. Drawing on this, Vis sought to create a new kind of communications system.
First, bio-engineered membranes of oggzil and villip were combined, creating a sort of ‘tympanum’ which could send and receive telepathic communications in this manner. The oggzil allowed the biots to communicate with more conventional technologies. Special processors and encryption modules were devised, which not only made slicing and compromise virtually impossible, but also processed received telepathic communications, decrypting them and then translating them into formats useful in other systems, such as more conventional communicators. Further, information is sent using multiple networks via variant types and cross-generation villips. This mirrored the more conventional quantum-key distribution, dividing messages into smaller packets sent along different networks, then reassembled and decrypted. Slicing these was impossible to anyone without access to all of networks used. Without quantum keys for each network, slicing was all but prevented, and brute-force attacks and intercepts were an absolute impossibility. Once received, decrypted, and rearranged, the information would be translated through a secondary quantum system into other technologies where it could be seen, heard, read, etc.
The merging of biotechnology and traditional technologies was inspired by her friend,
John Locke
, whose cybernetics were arguably the finest in the galaxy. The merging of biology and technology seemed the solution to infinite range, instant, and encrypted communications. Cloning allowed sufficient numbers of the various villips to be made so as to allow larger batches of the communicators to be made.

Maintaining the devices meant providing nutrient packs, essentially larger nutrient capsules designed specifically to maintain the health and well-being of the organic elements used. A special protective casing using agrinium filaments enmeshed between layers of reinforced duraplast that both shielded the technologies from EMP/Ion and radiation threats as well as safeguarding the organics from injury. Lambent crystals provided a dedicated and separate power supply, allowing the devices to be used – such as when integrated into armor systems – without drawing on other power.
