Talk:Charon Relay

Was the Charon Relay a primary relay?
 * Maybe. It's never been specified what type of relay the Charon relay is. Given the circumstances of its first use by humans, I suspect that it could very likely be a primary relay, but that's just a (barely) educated guess. SpartHawg948 09:39, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * And the Codex provides the answer, I think. According to the Codex for Arcturus Station, the relay to Sol is a secondary one, and since relays are pared, the Charon Relay is most likely a secondary one as well. Lancer1289 16:01, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Then wouldn't it be tougher on the Alliance then to defend an invasion force if it was a secondary relay?Tj2592 17:43, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * But you have to remember, only primary relays are paired. Secondary relays are secondary relays because they can connect to any nearby relay. So just because the one in Arcturus that leads to Sol is secondary doesn't mean that the Charon relay itself is secondary, and if it is, then by its very nature it cannot be paired with any other relay.

 * Sorry to bring up the discontinualtiy here, but if Charon was a primary, where is it's partner? We know it goes to Arcturus, which may be the cluster "hub" for the primary relays, but the Codex says that there is a secondary one to Sol. Now I'm confused because it doesn't say where the other three primary relays in Arcturus go. Lancer1289 19:23, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * But that's the thing with secondary relays. Even if the Charon relay is a primary relay paired with one in the Arcturus system, a secondary relay at Arcturus could still connect to the Charon relay. That's what secondary relays do, after all. Link to any other relay within range. SpartHawg948 19:26, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
