Command Tactical Implant

In one manner or another, the ComTac implant has existed for nearly five hundred years. A neural interface allows for direct interaction with computer systems.

They have been used by the Shau'ghunate Guard and Clan forces for centuries. Until the Uul'ba-Rai Jihad, almost all Guard and Clan personnel had the implant.

Currently, only humanoid, Uul'ba-Rai and Joyite Shau'ghunate Guard forces, including Household Guard, continue to be fitted with ComTac implants. However, in the mainstream Armed Forces, there are many veterans who also have the implant, including a high proportion of command staff. Work continues on ComTac versions that will function properly for Raka Kiri and Bahuji Guardsmen and women.

The implant is also available to Commander/Lt. Colonel rank or higher in the mainstream JEAF.

Functions
Many varieties of ComTac implants exist, assorted by year, purpose, and rank. Some common features include:


 * Information access
 * Subvocal and vocal communications
 * Direct shipboard systems access
 * Systems diagnosic capability
 * Command override capability
 * Four-dimensional sonic interpretation: when installed and activated, this feature creates a mental 'map' of one's surroundings
 * Combat Arms Suit systems interface

The ComTac can also function as a base for more extensive cyborg implants. For example, Commander Brembla Kol-Rekali's implants include a ComTac module.
