Description:

The laser communicator is a line-of-sight device with a range of 500 km. This distance is seldom needed on a world's surface since the distance to the horizon limits the range first, but this range often allows contact with an orbiting ship.

The laser communicator's main advantage is that it provides a tight beam and therefore a private means of communication. Sets of laser communicators are often set up in a repeater network. Spaced at a horizon-to-horizon distance, the units can instantly convey a message around a world by retransmitting it from station to station.
