S-threads, popularly known as Simu-Tunnels, were coordinated hyperspace matrices.

S-threads were extremely small Hyperspace tunnels used to ferry communications waves through. Due to their incredibly small dimensions, it was virtually impossible to intercept communications through an S-thread; the only way to do so was to attach a listening device to the Hyperwave transceivers responsible for managing information through the S-threads.

HistoryEdit

The S-threads were used to run the HoloNet. They were also used by Imperial homing beacons, and the Imperial Hyperspace Security Net used them to detect incoming vessels.
