The Cybersphere is a planetary computer network, replacing the older Datasphere. Utilising a mixture of wireless and wired connections, the Cybersphere is involved in almost every aspect of life on Commonwealth planets, it is used as both an information repository and a communication network, which most humans interact with via their wetware implants (O.C. tattoos , Organic Circuitry). Although the Cybersphere is a system in its own right, R.I.s (Restricted Intelligences) inhabit the planetary networks and control day to day systems such as traffic management, waste managements, commercial networks, wormhole/rail network and numerous other important systems.
