The node possesses most standard features expected from a station its class and function, most importantly the following:
- Hyperwave Transceiver.
- Standard Subspace engines.
- Standard Deflector Shields.
- Standard Sensor Suite
- Standard Communications and Encryption Suite
- Standard Navigation and Flight Control Systems
- Advanced ECM systems. Strong firewalls, internal defenses and complicated software architecture combined with aggressive countermeasures ensure that the Y3 is capable of warding off most slice/hack attempts on it.
- HIMS. Allows it to remain temporarily tethered in Hyperspace even in the event of an interdiction field. If the field remains in place for sometime the HIMS will burn out and it will revert to realspace. This does not allow it to go into hyperspace if an interdiction field is already set-up, of course.
- Y1 Droid Brain. The integrated droid brain allows this relay node to take over the functions of the archaic Waystation. The Y3 is capable of shifting through communication, sort it and further it along to its destination with virtually no lose in quality or integrity.
- Y2 Crystal Lattice. Integrated crystal lattice ensures a sizeable boost in signal strength, communication speed and security.
- Secure. Provides fast and secure private communication within Didact's organization throughout the Galaxy. The nodes are suspended and tethered in remote location within Hyperspace allowing it to pass most notice. Combined with advanced ECM countermeasures the Y3 is at the forefront of cyber-security.
- Automation. As with many Didact constructs the Y3 node is fully automated with a handful of Pebbledrone caretakers for low-grade maintenance.
- Hyperdrive. Advanced hyperdrive allows it to be deployed quickly where it needs to be, while the HIMS component allows it to remain tethered in Hyperspace even if an interdiction field were to pop up at its obscure location. If the field remains in place for sometime the HIMS will burn out and it will revert to realspace.
- No armament. Zip. None. It can't shoot lasers or anything. It can only rely on its shields and armor.
- Ion. While it has some buffers, if the shields go down the Y3 is highly susceptible to capital-grade ion fire.
- HIMS. If the field remains in place for sometime the HIMS will burn out and it will revert to realspace.
- Automation. Any critical damage has the potential of neutralizing the frigate as there aren't any organic crew members on-board. It must rely on automated repair protocols or attempt to return to the nearest Didact drydock for repairs otherwise.
With no central agency ensuring its integrity Didact sought elsewhere for its communication needs, before ending up with the concept of the dNet. The Y3 Relay Node is highly automated through its usage of the Y1 and Y2 droid brains and crystal lattices, ensuring that the dNet does not have to rely on insecure Waystations in realspace.
Instead the data is reviewed, sorted and send to the necessary channels straight from the Relay Node itself. This ensures additional security and makes the transfer speed extra efficient. The hyperdrive was constructed in-house, focusing on reliability and speed while integrating a HIMS to minimize the risk of a Relay Node being compromised by sudden appearances of interdiction fields.
The advanced ECM protocols are the main security and defense the Relay Node has. Seeing as it has no weapons of its own it has to rely on cyber-security and warfare to keep its date secure.
All of this combined ensures that Didact Defense Solutions can safely communicate within its corporate framework while minimizing the risk of intruders listening in. Didact facilities and constructs are being upgraded and fitted with specialized equipment to make use of this network.
