Burvixese HyperWave Broadcaster

An extremely powerful Hyperwave transmitter constructed at great expense by the Druuge in a desperate effort to save themselves from destruction; though the technology is crude and inefficient compared to Alliance technology, the total resources invested in building it give it a great deal more power and range than a standard Alliance transmitter. The Druuge had blanketed their region of space with Hyperwave transmissions advertising and bargaining over their wares for trade, thus making themselves a prime target for the rapidly approaching Kohr-Ah death fleet. Luckily, the neighboring Burvixese, a kind and altruistic race, had been in communication with the Gg race, first to be destroyed by the approaching Kohr-Ah. They offered the Druuge the Gg's intelligence data on the Kohr-Ah, including the Kohr-Ah's choice of the Druuge as their next target, as an act of goodwill. The amoral Druuge chose to shut down all Hyperwave transmissions and build the most powerful transmitter their resources would allow, in secret, on the Burvixese homeworld's satellite, pointed directly antispinward at the Kohr-Ah fleet, tricking them into changing targets. By the time the Burvixese discovered this ruse, it was too late, and the Kohr-Ah homed directly in on them and destroyed them, allowing the Druuge to escape unscathed.

In the game, it is used to talk to the Chmmr through the slave shield, call the Melnorme, or to play certain pranks on the Ilwrath (channel 44.).
