Device allowing two-way communication over great distances (across space). The device, when inactive, appears to be a polished gray sphere. This technology comes in several different sizes, from a size bigger than a beach ball to one that can fit in the palm of the hand. The communications network accessed by the devices is not secure -- thus the Tok'ra resistance movement does not use it.
