Comm array whose transmissions are nearly impossible to hack, even for high grade super computers.
Highly Resistant to Jamming attempts
STRENGTHS
Why can't I take this call?: This special comms unit uses dozen upon dozens of encryption methods to make intercepting and decoding it's transmissions next to impossible, allowing secure communication.
Anti-Callback: This device employs heavy ECCM (Electronic Counter-Countermeasures) to make it very difficult simply to jam it's transmissions
WEAKNESSES
Range: Only three fourths the range of a standard Destroyer comm array
Encryption Wait Time: Fully encrypting a message properly has a nine minute lag time, which could make a severe difference in the heat of battle, as a Commander may have to choose whether they want a nearly impossible to decrypt message, or run the risk of what they say being intercepted
Easily damaged: The device is delicate due to sensitive electronics, requiring much more frequent maintainence and recalibration. A direct pistol shot to its main circuits, which are in the bridge of a ship circuits will take it out of commission for days
DESCRIPTION
Scion Comm Systems: Don't let the unwashed find out what toppings you ordered on your pizza!
--Sales Pitch
The Scion Comm Array is a modernized Star Destroyer grade communication system that sacrifices range and transmission speed for being nearly impossible to hack and very difficult to jam. ECM is a constant hazard in space warfare, so the need to make as certain as possible that transmissions will be very difficult to hack is a very real concern it's developers were all too willing to cater to.
