"In the new era, thought itself will be transmitted by radio."

    —Guglielmo Marconi

Relay Station CR-718 is a Marconi-class subspace communications relay and hub station intended for 2nd-tier communications trunkline usage as well as sector communications coordination. CR-718 is placed on the Federation side of the Badlands to serve the coreward regions of the Bajor Sector not served by the communications hub within the Bajor system itself. The station also serves as the first station in the relay chain installed across the Badlands to provide constant near-realtime communications with Deep Space 47. CR-718's increased transmission power and sensitive receiver array allowed for materials savings of 2 whole unmanned arrays across the badlands, greatly reducing maintenance requirements as well for the teams responsible for ensuring the Badlands Chain is operational with a 99% uptime expectation.
