They were a major aspect of communication during the era of the High Republic, being used by the Republic Defense Coalition as well as many other groups. They would project images transmitted to them onto walls dedicated to their use known as commwalls. A comms droid was used by Admiral Pevel Kronara to communicate with Supreme Chancellor Lina Soh during the Great Hyperspace Disaster.[4]
