The HoloNet transceiver, sometimes referred to as a holopod,[2] was a holoprojector communications device. A vareity produced by SoroSuub Corporation was called the hologram projection pod.
Design[]
This round device measured three meters in diameter, with a central holoprojector set into a hologram pod. Scanning and projection panels were located around the perimeter of the central projector, which could create an image many meters in height. A control panel was located on the side of the pod, along with cooling vents and a field limiter. The SoroSuub projection pod, like all other HoloNet transceivers, could receive and decode HoloNet transmissions sent along S-thread channels from anywhere in the galaxy. Because of the widespread implementation of the HoloNet, the projection pod had an effective range that spanned the entire galactic disc.
History and usage[]
SoroSuub projection pods were commonly installed on the bridges of Imperial Star Destroyers, and one was also found in the holoprojection chamber aboard Executor during the Galactic Civil War. Vader used this to communicate with Emperor Palpatine to report on the progress of the war.[3] During the Virgillian Civil War, the Virgillian Free Alignment installed a HoloNet transceiver in the Quasar Fire-class bulk cruiser Flurry which they had stolen from a captured Imperial vessel.[4] This was unusual enough that Navy commander of the Imperial fleet at Bakura noted that it was probably stolen.[5]
