eMag Network
System Codex - BodyExplains how the eMag network works, including any kinds of delays.

The Interplanetary Information Index installed automated relay stations across the solar system initially to map the space for future exploration. During this time, charters were required to explore unvisited parts of space. It did not take long for the whole of the Sol System to be explored, and the relay stations were repurposed to create the eMag system grid.

As the need to communicate across vast distances grew with the colonization of the mining territory, the eMag system added large satellites that took advantage of planetary magnetospheres to create free communication pipelines. This meant a message could take days instead of months to reach across the SolNex. While still slow and subject to packet loss and surveillance, it is the most commonly used way to communicate.

Standard communication time for single eMag: 1-3 Sol Standard Days

Some of the relay stations were upgrades to quantum-tethered repeaters that allow for near instant synchronization of data across the SolNex, but access is limited to system communication, emergency frequencies, and anyone with enough credits to warrant access.

Premium communication time for single eMag: Near-instant

Several of the stations are in disrepair or simply forgotten in parts of space that were deemed less profitable to maintain a presence. The dead zones are safe havens for Space Cowboys and outlaws that want to escape the prying eyes on the vast grid.

For local communication such as on a station, vessel, or planet, eMags are usually instant, so long as the local relays are maintained. In some colonies, relays may not be available at all, in which case eMag communication is not possible. Some local areas may also have private relays with controlled, limited access.

Using a non-III approved device to access the eMag system is not permissible and may result in fines or mandatory labor services.
