| The planetary network was a method of communication between star clusters using fast moving particles between them, such as light. At first, speed and message delivery accuracy became a problem in solving the problem of distance and isolation between the planets. Until a faster interplanetary communication device was discovered, the cultural isolation and communication barrier became increasingly worse. | |||
