- Duralumin Casing
- Transponder Components
- Each EPIHB contains a unique factory-assigned numeric designation, which can be registered alongside that of a ship in administrative documents.
- In case of distress or an emergency, the EPIHB can transmit an encrypted identification number of the ship, the beacon's serial number, date and type of event, and the galactic position of the ship.
- The transmission produced by the EPIHB can be used by governments, military, or rescue services to locate a stranded ship and quickly recover the stricken ship.
- It contains an extremely powerful long-range transmitter, capable of relaying an emergency transmission across the galaxy.
- Rescue: The EPIHB is designed specifically to be a distress-beacon, able to be used by ships in case that navigational and/or other essential systems fail to contact rescue forces to ensure minimal loss of life and property. In this regard, the EPIHB is encrypted and contains an extremely powerful long-range transmitter.
- Limited Communicator: The message that the EPIHB sends, while carrying essential information, is very barebones. For actions such as coordinating directly with rescue forces, including creating a real-time holofeed or communication. For those tasks, different devices will be needed.
Designed by Roble Manufacturing to be a handy device for all kinds of ships in the case of emergency, the RMT-01 Emergency Position Indicating HoloBeacon is built to transmit a ship's identification number, date and type of emergency-creating event, the galactic position of the ship and the beacon's serial number. Small and portable, the EPIHB is meant to help the coordination of rescue efforts for any stricken ship, and to be a last-resorts communication device for stranded ships or crew.
