===Hololith===
A hololith operates on a blend of material-[[Warp|immaterial]] technology,{{Fn|12}} allowing for medium range communications{{Fn|13}} on a speed faster than light.{{Fn|12}} Hence, hololiths lack the communications lag inherent to regular, light-speed bound electromagnetic technology. Still, the range of hololithic technology is limited to a [[Solar System|solar system]], any communications further out need to use [[astrotelepathy]].{{Fn|13}}
The light projection of hololiths are typically either blue, green, or some shade between. The form created by the projection ribbons are heavily striated mote strands, not quite true-[[pict]]-quality. Frameshift technologies made flaws inevitable and can't be ironed out due to simple physics. At close range and in good conditions, the best holocast provided a phantom figure, alongside an audio buzzing. Jag and tear is common in long-range holocasts. One must be fairly close to one another, in astronomical terms, to properly engage in a holocast conversation.{{Fn|9a}}
