Courier Drones

Courier Drones are a recent implementation by the Reticulum to make up for the lack of a formally established system of interplanetary communications, which required starships to function as mail carriers.

The Drones travel back and forth between systems and as they are unmanned and function non-stop, they are faster than a Capital Ship. In the system's early stages, many places of the Reticulum were not set up to launch or receive the Drones, while several were lost or destroyed.
