The system is comprised of thousands of Quantum Entanglement Communicators (QECs) mounted aboard almost every government vessel, platform, outpost, in addition to every planetary capitol. The system relies on messages being sent to the nearest QEC node, where it is then relayed through the hub on [[Sanctuary]], to it's final destination, either on Sanctuary, or to the QEC nearest the message's destination for rebroadcast. While available for use to civilian users for a minimal fee, each node is equipped with numerous built-in [[Artificial Intelligence|AIs]] to prioritize government transmissions based on need and emergency situations.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;Due to it's reliance on rebroadcast, the system typically has noticeable delays between anything beyond a few light-seconds of the nearest node in message traffic. While not noticeable for static messages, dynamic messages such as live video take noticeable hits in quality and lag the further the messenger and recipient are from their respective nodes. A variation of this system is used by other powers and factions in the galaxy, and typically do not integrate with the Echo Drive system.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot; data-marker=&quot;+&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Echo Drive is a near light-speed communications network, in use by [[The Initiative]].
