Osiris Network

The Osiris Network; unlimited information, communication and entertainment at your fingertips. - Largest OSP Marketing SloganThe Osiris Network is the name given to a variety of services provided by the Osiris Network itself. The Osiris Network is an enormous interlinked satellite array that orbits the planet of Dragonia. The Osiris-class satellites house some of the most advanced communications processing systems ever developed by Dragonia and as such are relied upon by the entire populace of Dragonia for their information, communication and entertainment needs. The Osiris Network is completely 100% wireless.
Not only this, the Osiris Network also services the military by providing instantaneous ultra-high speed communications and near real time GPS and map services allowing for what would be considered an always-on 24/7 eye over the battlefield. In terms of military information, this is an unprecedented level of access allowing for 99% accuracy in battle maps, troop movements and surveillance of enemy troops and locations. It's one of the reasons why the Grand Army is able to decimate enemy forces so thoroughly. You cannot hide from the Eye of Osiris. The Grand Army has ships dedicated to storage, deployment, repair and even creation of Osiris-class satellites that are deployed over planets where they are operating, giving them this level of surveillance. The Grand Army is surprisingly reliant on this network and this makes it a target for the enemy when they have the means to strike at the satellites themselves. When taken down in the Dragonian Civil War it actually paralyzed the Grand Army and forced them into defense.
Osiris-class satellites can be deployed as an auto-linking array or as single entities. As a single entity, the satellite will maintain geo-synchronous orbit over the area providing uninterrupted surveillance or civilian communication tasks. When setup to work in an auto-linking array, the satellites will send up a ping on a frequency that only works between them and they will dynamically link to one another creating a virtual blanket over an area, sharing information between themselves. This is what allows them to provide almost instantaneous communication.
Osiris-class satellites are egregiously expensive. Each individual unit costs approximately 34 billion credits. The cost of the Osiris Network orbiting Dragonia at the time of it's destruction in the Civil War was over 28 Trillion Credits making it a catastrophic economic loss, before factoring all the other damage that came from it. The Network was originally comprised of 824 satellites.
The estimated throughput of the network with all of it's resources combined is a staggering 565 Exabytes per second. Based on the current population of Dragonia, each individual person is estimated to use 26.53 GB/s at any given time. This varies however and is almost universally agreed to be higher as there are people who use more or less depending on tasks.
