Subspace Sensors

Name:  Subspace Sensors 
Faction:  Imperial Union Of Planets 
Notes:  An outgrowth of the designs for subspace radio, the principles behind subspace sensors are more or less the same - by encasing the sensor hardware in a tunable subspace field, a Union asset can reach out and collect, in real time, data from potentially tens of light-years distant.  Meant to be used for both active and passive hardware, passive systems see the most use;  this is in no small part due how such sensors are used in day-to-day operations.
Though based on similar principles and hardware, subspace sensors can reach out to a maximum average of fifty light-years.  While this is more than double the range of the Union’s current subspace radios, this is only with the Union’s sensors operating at their lowest resolution - while still able to get near real-time data of enough clarity to make educated guesses, this is more about giving Union forces a head’s up at range and finding things to go investigate at closer range.
In the modern Union, though some parts of the subspace radio network are compatible, a dedicated network has been established to extend sensor range.  The relays and other components of this sensor network allows for real-time review of space within the Union’s sphere as well as a limited range beyond.
