They feed TRI all sorts of data, such as environmental conditions, pilot traffic, and Conflux movement. They also provide the backbone of the universal chat system built into all TRI craft and stations. Over time, they tend to drift out of alignment, and need to be reoriented. Special computers (Beacon Control Units, or BCUs) can be fitted on your ship to reprogram beacons to line up correctly. TRI rewards you and your faction with experience and tax breaks for each beacon successfully controlled.
