The Wave

The Wave is the Consortium version of the Internet. It contains galactic history, broadcast across multiple planets using hundreds of thousands of relay satellites, using technology that allows data and information to travel at speeds of over 1,000,000,000 C.

Traversal of the Wave is done through compact Data Ports. Different than computers in that certain Data Ports can hook directly into the brain stem, it has the additional ability to store, and recover, 'data' in the form of memories. Usually these specialized Data Ports are not available for public consumption, and are used in personal circumstances due to the possibility of tampering.
