OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION

PRODUCTION INFORMATION

• Manufacturer: Order of Wonosa, Sanguine Defense Works
• Affiliation: Order of Wonosa
• Market Status: Closed-Market
• Model: N/A
• Modularity: No
• Production: Mass-Produced
• Material: Code, Holofeeds, Holoclips, HoloNet Transcievers

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Backdoor Integration: Due to the Xinklas being primarily transmitted by military vessels or other such assets as well as an integrated probabilities software component, interrupting and superseding local HoloNet access is a rather simple affair even without dedicated slicing efforts as the feeds and clips of the Xinklas will largely be considered part of normal HoloNet activity at first.
• Outer-Rimgineering: Even more covert and cheap transceivers can reliably pick up on the Xinklas without much issue due to the relatively small and quick bandwidth transfer that it boasts. This is largely a result of the network being built off of scavenged and scattered transceivers littered across the Outer Rim and Wild Space.

STRENGTHS

• Signal Intrusion: The Xinklas network can be fairly easily broadcast into any local HoloNet network alongside the normal broadcasts and feeds that comprise such a network, with actual sightings of the Xinlas's works being the main method of detecting its intrusion at all as it largely blends in with normal HoloNet traffic from a system point of view. As part of its intrusion it also essentially overrides most if not all existing HoloNet feeds in whatever network it accesses, making regular HoloNet traffic and communication while it's active almost impossible.

WEAKNESSES

• Back to the Source: Given that the Xinklas is primarily transmitted and relayed through single points of contact before being distributed into a wider HoloNet network, stopping its broadcasting is a simple matter of disabling whatever primary transceiver and relay is hosting it in the area. Any disruption, even a fairly minor one such as simple maintenance to the relays, will almost immediately cease the Xinklas broadcasts and restore the normal HoloNet access programs and broadcasts without any real long term damage done.

DESCRIPTION
The Order of Wonosa had long sought to spread across the Outer Rim and Wild Space like an infection, seeping first into the poverty stricken and downtrodden of any world they came across before spurring their new converts into open acts of defiance and revolt against whatever powers may be at hand. This was of course a gradual and exceptionally delicate process, one measured not in days but in months and in the numbers of new followers they gained during it. Efforts to expedite it, to overrun the backwater and forgotten worlds of the Rim with their beliefs and cultists were always being attempted but rarely bore any fruit worth noting.

A potential method for further spreading their ways and thus spreading their reach via new converts and hopeful allies was that of communication channels, networks and programs that could reach farther than individual agents or enclaves and directly contact mass groups that could be accepting of their messages and calls for action. Additionally, a secure communication system was always desirable. Most of the communication setup within the Order of Wonosa consisted of military-grade relays and transceivers that fed into more local scavenged and rebuilt receivers in kind.

Most of the Wonosan communication system was actually built off the back of existing criminal networks and systems, falling into their hands over the course of their little war against crime and then being repurposed into their use. This would be the birthplace of the Xinklas, a network made in the existing backdoors and hidden outlets of the HoloNet that had already been carved by criminal organizations for decades if not centuries. Black market networks that would turn from a tool of the criminal underworld into a stream of sermons and messages of revolution that would not only keep the widespread Wonosan enclaves in contact with the larger whole but would also hopefully entice and enthrall populations into joining with them.

It would not be formalized into a dedicated communications network in and of itself until the creation of the cult's flagship, the Harbinger of Absolution, which would serve as the primary mobile hub for the Xinklas broadcasts to be distributed. Relays and communication suites meant to broadcast the Xinklas's feeds would soon follow in the various scattered Wonosan outposts, hijacking and replacing the local HoloNet broadcasts wherever they were established and instead filling the HoloNet with sermons praising the Dark Side and calling for all enslaved or downtrodden masses to find salvation in the waiting arms of the Order of Wonosa.
