MSS Notes re Communications

Despite the fact that properly shielded craft can successfully enter and leave sub space, in the late 2000’s no one has yet found a means to use the medium for transmission of voice / video communications from within a gravity well of more than one third of Earth Gravity. Energy requirements are very high, and signal quality is poor at over one parsec. A ‘Quantum wave’ effect sub space transmitter once showed promise, but research has since been discontinued after hazardous and random ionizing radiation levels were found to be a deleterious side effect.

News and materials are transmitted via transport vessels such as the Atlanta, a hundred tonne capacity unarmed interstellar cargo carrier.
