History of the Holonet

The HoloNet began in 4,998 BBY as the Holographic Interactive Network, a pet project undertaken by Cupric Vorn and his technicians at Vorn Communications. The project consisted of a series of transceivers to rely messages across the galaxy at near-instantaneous speeds. After Vorn Communications realized the potential of such technology, Cupric Vorn spoke to the Senate, and convinced them to grant his company the billions that would be needed for such an undertaking. The project was then renamed from the unwieldly "Interactive Holographic Network" to the more consumer friendly "HoloNet", and was prepared for launch.

Vorn Communications began manufacturing transcievers, producing content, writing software, and fabricating consumer equipment. The HoloNet was launched, and revolutionized the communications industry almost immediately.
