Shivan Comm Node

The Shivan Comm Node is a Shivan device encountered in the Binary system beyond the second knossos gate. They consist of a complex web of machinery encasing a crystalline sphere. Officially, the GTVA has no idea what the purpose of these devices are - they are labelled as "Unknown" in game, and are revealed as Comm Nodes in the tables only.

Three of these devices were encountered and destroyed, each releasing a tremendous amount of energy as a shockwave. Their purpose remains officially unknown.
