COMLINKS

Comlinks are portable communication devices. Consisting of a receiver, transmitter, and a power source, they are suitable for short range communication. They come in three types: Personal, Vehicle, and Military.

Modifications possible include:-

Burst-Transmissioncan be a modification to personal comlinks for double the base cost, making the transmission very difficult to intercept or detect.
Miniaturization can be a modification to vehicle and military comlinks for double the base cost. It makes the device wrist-sized.
Subcutaneous implant can be a modification to personal comlinks for five times the base cost. It makes the comlink visually undetectable and is activated via finger or jaw pressure. Remove to switch channels.
Encryption can be a modification to personal and vehicle comlinks giving the device hardwired encryption routines for ten times the base cost. It is standard in military comlinks.
Video can be a modification for personal and vehicle comlinks giving two-dimensional images in addition to audio for twice the base cost. It is standard in military comlinks.
Holoprojection can be a modification to a comlink giving three-dimensional image capability in addition to audio for five times the base cost.

Comlinks can broadcast over countless different frequencies. There are also 'Standard Clear Frequencies' (or SCF's) which are used for any public communications, such as when a ship wishes to hail a spaceport or other ship, or when a local government needs to make a broadcast that should be picked up by all comlinks within a certain area. Most comlinks can be set to monitor one specific frequency and SCF's simultaneously, and more advanced comlinks and military comlinks can be set to monitor several frequencies.

Comlink (personal):
Hand-held cylinder or wrist-sized device.
Range: 50km or up to low orbit in clear weather.
Weight: 0.1kg.
Availability: Readily available throughout the known galaxy. All eras.
Cost: 25-200
Modifications Possible: Can be built into helmets and armour. Encryption, Video, Holoprojection.

Comlink (vehicle):
Medpack-sized device. Used for short-range communication such as when entering docking procedures on starships. For longer range communication vehicles tend to use subspace radios.
Range: 200km and high orbit in clear weather.
Weight: 1kg.
Availability: Readily available throughout the known galaxy. All eras.
Cost: 250-300
Modifications Possible: Can be built into vehicle systems. Miniaturized, Encryption, Video, Holoprojection.

Comlink (military):
Backpack-sized device.
Range: 500km and high orbit.
Weight: 3kg.
Availability: Normally only available in large cities and space ports or on the planet of origin. Restricted on most planets, and normally may not be bought or sold without appropriate Imperial, New republic, or other relevant license. All eras.
Cost: 100-500
Modifications Possible: Encryption, Video included. Holoprojection.
