'''Communications relays''' are [[United Nations Space Command | '''Communications relays''' are [[United Nations Space Command]] planetary [[COM|communications]] facilities. A single colony may have at least three local carrier hubs that connect to a primary communications facility responsible for [[Superluminal communications|interstellar communications]].<ref name="overlook">'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', ''[[Halo: Reach radio conversations#Overlook|Overlook radio conversation]]''</ref> These relays also apparently manage connections to a planet's reconnaissance satellites.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level, ''[[Noble Actual]]'' (''"...hit a relay to take out our eyes and ears..."'')</ref> On [[Reach]], the [[Visegrád Relay]] was one of the planet's three northern carrier hubs.{{Ref/Reuse|overlook}} | ||
Due to their importance, communications hubs can be optimal targets for [[Insurrectionist]] attacks. In early [[2552]], rebels on [[Harmony]] disabled a relay and stole two dry-docked [[freighter]]s. Similarly, it was assumed that the communications disruption at the Visegrad relay station on July 23, 2552 was caused by insurgents, before it was revealed to be the work of a [[Covenant]] advance party instead.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level, ''Noble Actual''</ref> | Due to their importance, communications hubs can be optimal targets for [[Insurrectionist]] attacks.
