Lifeline Project
developed by Brophar Tofarain and Lofryyhn, this plan used the six Imperial-issue probe droids aboard the corvette FarStar as communications relays. They could be set in position at intervals within the Kathol Rift, providing a chain of relays to allow the FarStar to remain in contact with the outside galaxy. Unfortunately, the intense energy generated by the Rift created a great deal of interference, so it was decided to focus the probe droids on being able to send messages from the FarStar to the outside galaxy. This left the FarStar without a way to receive communications. Brandis Turgah used the Lifeline to communicate with Velst Nay'sro, and the Bothans under Nay'sro's command discovered messages from Loh'kahr to Khzam.
