The ultimate in communication within a star system, the mass transceiver equipment uses the criss-crossing lines of gravity formed by a system’s star and planets to transmit cohesive graviton packets to other mass transceivers in that system. These packets contain signals that provide instantaneous communications between any and all ships, settlements, and installations equipped with mass transceivers.

The mass transceiver cannot send signals beyond a star’s gravity well, however, as the graviton packets disintegrate once they leave the star’s range.

For an additional +1 to the purchase DC, an encryption device can be included to scramble and unscramble signals as needed.

The device requires a power backpack or similar power source to function.
