HistoryEdit

Comm ships were used during the Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil War to both aid friendly forces and hinder enemies. The latter was accomplished through jamming measures that scrambled the enemy's lines of communiction.

In the time of the Empire, several communications ships were among the support vessels kept in readiness by individual Sector and Oversector navy worlds.^[1]
