Additional Information

Location Private Communications Facility
Description All VIP quarters aboard the ship are equipped with terminals using that system. This system uses a secondary ODN route to the main communications array and is accessed only by key personnel under strict security. The system is handled by an isolated sub processor situated in a Communications Center on the VIP Deck that is also used by the staff and entourage of delegates aboard. Access to this system is restricted to Level 9 authorization and above.

Since privacy is so important aboard a diplomatic ship, any tampering with these systems is investigated with all due diligence and punished severely if a crewmember is found responsible.
