Federation Long-range communication device

The Federation Long-range communication device is a Federation version of the Long-range communication device.

Overview
The device uses the Communication stones which are placed onto a pad which activates them. The device can be switched off to disable the connection. A smaller, single stone use device was also created. The devices transmit several types of signals between them including a main transfer frequency which carries the commands.

History
These devices were created for use with the Destiny Expedition in case they ended up somewhere beyond normal communications range. As he was evacuating Icarus Base, Everett Young grabbed the case containing this device and the communication stones and it was later used by Typhuss James Kira who switched bodies with Dr. Bill Lee at The Pentagon. Young and Chloe Armstrong switched bodies with Colonel David Telford and Dr. Mehta respectively. Small devices were used to trick two Langarans into switching bodies with Young and Matthew Scott. When The Pentagon was attacked by the Lucian Alliance, the communication device was damaged and had to be repaired. Dr. Andrew Covel sabotaged the device aboard Destiny so that he would not return to his body which he had learned had been exposed to a lethal amount of radiation but it was eventually undone.
