Communications satellite

A communications satellite, also known simply as a comm-sat, was a type of artificial satellite constructed and launched into low planetary orbit for the purposes of relaying audio, audiovisual, or data-based transmissions. Networks of such satellites could provide for the use of near-instantaneous communications across the entire surface of a world.

By the time Laera Reyolé and Silas Dan'kre arrived on T'lessia, the native Sa'ari had already constructed and put into place a network of comm satellites. This enabled the widespread use of sat-phones among the various police and military forces, as well as the lighters of the Order of the Blue Light. Use of sat-phones and other devices of that nature was also available for use by the general Sa'ari population. In addition, comm satellites were utilized for broadcasting news, information, and entertainment programs to Sa'ari viewscreens across that world.
