Library Program

The Library Program or Library Update Program is designed to provide Library Data, a vital source of information within the boundaries of Charted Space]], a vast area.

• This is a program, a kind of computer software.
• It is designed to be used with a Ship’s Computer, although it could be used with other kinds of computers as well.

Description (Specifications)

Routine programs are used to operate systems other than weaponry, and without regard to violent interaction.

• Wise starship captains understand that the library program is not all inclusive, and may be incorrect in some facts.
