Signal Corps

The Signal Corps was a branch of the Galactic Republic's Department of Communications responsible for defending and maintaining the Galactic Signal Network. Apart from its many administrators and inspectors that enforced policies on the galactic Internet, the Signal Corps also maintained a combat division that defended subspace transmitters and relay nodes from enemy attacks. The Signal Corps also maintained the communication network used exclusively by the Republic Judicial Forces. By the time of the Clone Wars, the Signal Corps had at least 100,000 members, which included officers, security personnel, administrators, inspectors, technicians, and operators.

Equipment
Signal Corps soldiers, often referred to as "signal troopers", wore very similar blue-colored uniforms to the Judicial Forces. The average signal trooper was equipped with maintenance equipment and a standard blaster pistol, though in most turbulent periods they can be found use larger weapons such as the A-280 blaster rifle.
