== Description (Specifications) ==
 
−
DataCasters are [[starship]]-mounted offensive weapons designed to overwhelm enemy [[sensor]]s with excess data, preventing them from functioning. In addition, DataCasters can jam [[communicator|communications]] and potentially install computer [[virus|virii]] in insufficiently protected enemy [[computer]]s.

−
DataCasters are typically turret-mounted. Their efficacy is based largely on their [[tech level]] compared to the target's [[tech level]].

−
== History & Background ([[Dossier]]) ==
 
−
The [[Terrans]] used DataCasters to great effect against the [[Vilani]] in the early period of the [[Interstellar Wars]]. For over a century, wars on [[Terra]] had involved an [[electronic warfare]] component, and Terran nations had developed myriad systems for overwhelming and disabling adversarial computer systems. The [[Vilani]] had no such traditions. They had not encountered malicious computer code before, and their previous enemies did not utilize [[electronic warfare]].
