What are jump buoys?
Jump buoys serve three purposes: they mark the locations of jump points, they track ship movements and they form the working backbone of the Confederation’s FTL communications network. Jump Buoys are capable of transmitting data to one another across jump space. This information is passed across star systems via relay stations to other jump buoys. The Kilrathi also make use of two other types of jump buoys: they maintain a network of cloaked spy buoys and automated missile-armed defense buoys.
