The communications array was a ship system for the long-range transmission and reception of video and audio data across space.
Description[]
A ship's Chief of Security monitored ship communications at the station on the Bridge. However, bridge station was simply a Computer interface with the communications array, which was located elsewhere on the ship. For example, on the USS Orville, the actual location of the communications array was a dedicated room on Deck E.[1]
History[]
In late 2419, Pria Lavesque destroyed the communications array to prevent the Orville from contacting the Planetary Union.[2]
The Planetary Union upgraded the communications array in early 2421 shortly before the Battle of the Sanctuary.[3]
