Communications

Commlink

commlinks are simple handheld communication devices, fitted with microphones and receivers. Basic, personal commlinks have a range of up to 30 miles, but are reduced in dense, urban areas or areas of high level interference. The commlink lasts for 10 hours and can be recharged by connecting to a power source or by replacing the power cell.

Comm Jammer

A device used to scramble and block transmissions from communications devices in a 300 foot radius. The device can be activated or deactivated as an action. Any creature sending incoming or outgoing communications within range must succeed on a DC 15 Intelligence (Technology) check. On a failure, their communications are jammed until the comm jammer is deactivated or they move out of its range. The comm jammer lasts for 1 hour and can be recharged by connecting to a power source or by replacing the power cell.

Commlink, Hands-Free

A hands-free commlink functions as a commlink, but can be installed in a helmet or worn independently, such as on your head or ear.

Holocomm

A holocomm is a communications unit that utilizes the HoloNet. It enables users to send and receive messages through holographic-based transmission networks.

Holotrace Device

A holotrace device is a wrist-worn gadget that can be used to trace a holographic transmission back to its source.

Pocket Scrambler

A pocket scrambler is a simple add-on to any commlink that automatically encodes any messages sent out. The transmitted message can only be read by a device equipped with a matched scrambler.
