I always assumed that populated systems had some kind of hyperspace communication systems.

But then I had a major thought on why we move sensitive data - then I came into conculsion. It might be connected to the fact that FTL Comms - as they exist - might be easy to trace down through the system buoys. Pretty much like in case of Mass Effect's Mass Relays, as in one of the book it is mentioned that Salarians were monitoring them through centuries.

They definitely don't go much into detail about how any of the actual communication system works. We know GalNet is on all independent ships now (and even some military) so this is probably a key thing though. My assumption has always been something like a hyperspace relay to a main network. Though if we assume "ansible" type design with quantum entanglement perhaps, distance would supposedly have no meaning. Certainly such a thing could be built in in the factory when building the ship itself.

Or if someone played Ace Combat 5 - The Grey Men and Grunder Industries.

Has anyone here ever used them in their narratives, or just imagined what they might look like & how they might work?
Thanks!

Not quickly enough for some, though.
I don't think it was outside the Lore, I just didn't like it all that much.
