Ansible
Ansibles are wormhole-based devices capable of relaying information from point to point instantaneously, circumventing the restriction of light speed. The ansible network allows access to all kinds of data, from fun and frivolous social media platforms (of which there are many kinds) to interstellar cartography critical to navigation. Distress signals are also dispersed through a specific ansible sub-network linking all active and registered space vessels, stations, and dispatchers. The term ansible is a shortened form of "answerable," being lifted from the fiction works of Ursula K. Le Guin and applied to the device to honor her memory.
