Data transmission throughout a ship is accomplished by means of an optical data network (ODN), a network of multiplexed optical monocrystal microfibers. Most ships have from three to six redundant ODN trunks linking their computer cores and the various subprocessors and control panels throughout the ship (this redundancy is built into the system’s SU cost; players do not have to buy each ODN system separately, though they can buy extra ones if they want to). Damage to the ODN may hamper the ability of the ship’s computers to operate the ship.

Pre-duotronic computer networks require the same amount of network infrastructure as their duotronic and isolinear cousins, but instead of monocrystal microfibers, they use fiberglass laser optics and related offshoot technology.
