Gravesworld Communication Transmitters
Low-profile subspace transceiver arrays mounted in Gravesworld orbital relays; matte composite housings studded with status indicator clusters and recessed antennae. Panels occasionally flicker across the Enterprise's bridge displays as ambient telemetry, their steady hum threading under bridge chatter. During the warp‑speed tractor capture sequence officers glance at transmitter readouts on auxiliary consoles, treating the arrays as constant background infrastructure whose reported status contributes to tactical calculations and situational awareness.

Purpose
To relay two‑way subspace communications between Gravesworld and visiting starships, providing planetary-external signal transmission and status telemetry.
Significance
Serves as critical communications infrastructure whose operational state functions as background situational data for the bridge crew; its readings inform decisions during high‑risk operations and can transform from mundane detail into a plot cue when abnormal behavior occurs.
