Subsystem: Optical Data Network (ODN)

==Subsystem: Optical Data Network (ODN)==
Power Cost: None
Data transmission throughout a ship is accomplished by means of the Optical Data Network (ODN), a network of multiplexed optical minicrystal microfibers. Most ships have from three to six redundant ODN trunks linking their comptuer cores and the various subprocessors and control panels throughout the ship (this redundancy is built into the ship as standard code. Damage to the ODN may hamper the ability of the ship's computers to operate the ship.
