PRODUCTION INFORMATION
Manufacturer: Visanj T’shkali
Affiliation: Closed-Market
Model: ShadowVoice Communications System
Modularity: None
Production: Semi-Unique
Material(s)/Component(s):
SPECIAL FEATURES:
  • Allows enhanced anonymity, highly-encrypted, and untraceable long-range communications.
  • Enables full-spectrum HoloNet communications and signal tracing.
  • Passively monitors full-spectrum communications up to 20LY, including those originating in hyperspace.
STRENGTHS:
  • Virtually Invincible to Jamming – The equipment used in this design is very hard to hack into.
  • Able to Transmit through Rock and Metal – The equipment used in this design can penetrate through most rock and even plates of metal.
  • Real-time Translation Capability – Thanks to the computer-assisted TranLang III module, real-time translation is made possible in several million languages and dialects.
  • Self-Healing – The bio-tech components used in this design can heal if they damaged, usually over a period of several hours to a few days, provided the damage is not too excessive.
  • Hardened to EMP/Ion – The systems’ design is, at every level, protected and shielded against EMP/Ion strikes.
  • Difficult to Slice – The signal transmissions, if they can be intercepted at all, are encrypted to various levels which at their highest are nearly impregnable to break.
  • Excellent stealth communications package ensures untraceable, highly-encrypted long-range communications.
  • Enables passive monitoring and signal tracing, while safeguarding anonymity and un-traceability for the user.
  • Enables full-spectrum holonet and holo-communications capabilities.
WEAKNESSES:
  • Highly Complex – Uses a variety of complex components and software, making it very difficult to easily repair depending on the level of damage and can make parts hard to replace in some corners of the galaxy.
  • Only as Good as the Other End – Encryption and decryption is great, and this system is great for it, but if the receiver on the other end can’t keep up, it’s all for nothing. This system works to the lowest-common-denominator-setting, which can make messages easier to intercept and decode.
  • Fickle – Due to its bio-tech components, it can be susceptible to radiation and succumb to viruses and diseases.
  • Power Drinker – Requires a lot of power to function properly, making it impossible to be used aboard anything smaller than 50m, precluding most small craft and starfighters.
  • Hard, Not Limitless – A strong-enough EMP/Ion strike can knock the system offline, requiring a complete reboot of the system, which can take as much as an hour.
  • Heavy power draw makes it unfit for most standard-size starfighters and shuttlecraft, and requires ships larger than 20m to be installed.
  • Only works in tandem with the Star Voice Communications System.
  • Comm Scanner is only limited to 20LY range, able to detect ships in, approaching, or leaving a rather close general area.
DESCRIPTION:

A powerful and stealthy long-range communications system, the ShadowVoice is the perfect tool for smugglers, spies, special operations personnel, pirates, bounty hunters, and virtually anyone who wants a secure, covert, and reliable long-range capable communications system. ShadowVoice draws upon two previous technologies, the StarVoice Communications System and the StarVoice Plus after-market package, and enhances it with further stealth and encryption technologies.
