handheld personal comlink, the SW-95 was designed and produced by
Cirenian Communications. Unique in function, it sends signals that

intermittent comm signals, such as on less-advanced worlds the range
drops to 500km. If no other com signals are nearby, the range drops to
a standard 25km.
Range: 25km / 500km / 2,000km dependent on other comm signals in the vacinity.
