+	that is the Exonet.<br>\
+	<br>\
+	The Exonet is the predominant interstellar telecom system, servicing trillions of devices across a large portion of human-controlled space.  \
+	It is distributed by a massive network of telecommunication satellites, some privately owned and others owned by the systems’ local governments, \
+	that utilize FTL technologies to bounce data between satellites at speeds that would not be possible at sub-light technology.  This communicator \
+	uses a protocol called Exonet Protocol Version 2, generally shortened to EPv2.<br>\
+	<br>\
+	EPv2 is the most common communications protocol in the Exonet, and was specifically designed for it.  It was designed to facilitate communication \
+	between any device in a star system, and have the ability to forward interstellar requests at the root node of that system’s Exonet.  \
+	It is also built to cope with the reality that the numerous nodes in a system will likely have frequent outages.  The protocol allows for \

+	is referred to as a terminal node, servicing the Northern Star.<br>\
+	<br>\
+	In the beginning of humanity's ascend into space, the Exonet didn't exist.  Instead, the Exonet is the evolution to a network called the Interplanetary \
+	Internet (sometimes referred to as the InterPlaNet), which was conceived and developed due to the limitations of the terrestrial Internet, mainly because \
+	the IP protocol was unsuitable for long range communications in space, due to the massive delays associated with lightspeed being unable to overcome \
+	the massive distances between planets in a timely manner.  It was a store-and-forward network of smaller internets, distributed between various nodes, \
+	and was designed to be error, fault, and delay tolerant.  The first nodes were put into space around the time when colonization had begun, to service humanity’s \
+	close holdings, such as Luna and Mars.<br>\
+	<br>\
+	By 2104, the Interplanetary Internet had coverage within most of Sol, but the network of networks were limited by the speed of light, and due \
+	to orbital mechanics, the delay for a request to be processed could vary.  As an example, a direct message from Mars to Earth could take anywhere \
+	between three to twenty two minutes to get to Earth, and then the same amount of time to return to Mars.  Coverage was also spotty due to the \
+	nature of operating at such vast distances.<br>\
+	<br>\
+	Fortunately, a method for traveling faster than light was discovered, which could allow data to be transmitted beyond the speed of light, \
+	and thus overcome the limitations of the Interplanetary Internet.  One by one, each of the nodes were upgraded to utilize cutting edge \
+	(at the time) FTL technologies to rapidly increase response time.<br>\
+	<br>\
+	Once humanity had send colonists out beyond Sol, to other star systems such as Sirius and Alpha Centauri, they required their own interplanetary \
+	internet, so a new protocol had to be created, and another hardware upgrade for the separate interplanetary internets.  The end result allowed \
+	communications between Sol and the various exosolar systems, and was dubbed the Exonet.  It remains the most common way for consumers to engage \
+	in long range communications across planets and star systems.  Generally, each system has their own Exonet, which is connected to all the other \
+	Exonets at the root node(s), and is typically arranged in a tree structure.  The root node(s) are generally government-owned and are very secure \
+	and resilient to failure.<br>\
+	<br>\
+	This node is privately owned and maintained by Nanotrasen, and allows the colonists of the Northern Star to have access to the Exonet."
+
+	description_antag = "An EMP will disable this device for a short period of time.  A longer downage can be achieved by turning it off, or rigging \
+	the APC it uses to turn off remotely, such as with a signaler in the right wire."
