A low-frequency transmitter functioned as a tool for communication. The Alliance to Restore the Republic utilized a low-frequency transmitter at their Mortex Sector HQ located on Fangol to establish communication with the artificial moon which was in geosynchronous orbit with the base. Because of the atmosphere surrounding Fangol, transmissions and data from sensors were unable to pass through from the ground-based installation, which made it vital for the moon to manage these duties.
