The Echo Drive is a near light-speed communications network, in use by The Initiative. It is carried on every ship. It allows for sensory, targeting, status, and maneuvering data to be shared nearly instantaneously between ships within the same star system, allowing ships to work in a much more uniform manner.
The Echo Drive is also installed on civilian craft, to allow for communications data to be transferred around. However, it has a series of built in AIs to prioritize military transmissions based on need and emergency situations. However, outside of emergencies, it allows for the majority dedicated to civilian use, this amount being controlled and cut down on as needed for military transmissions. Should an emergency arise, the AIs would cut down on the civilian bandwidth, prioritizing emergency messages and military communications over day-to-day transmissions. However, the range of the Echo Drive is limited to within a star system, and is not capable of interstellar communications.
