Faster-than-light (also superluminal or FTL) communications and travel refer to the propagation of information or matter faster than the speed of light. Under the special theory of relativity, a particle (that has mass) with subluminal velocity needs infinite energy to accelerate to the speed of light, although special relativity does not forbid the existence of particles that travel faster than light at all times (tachyons).
This suggests these drones have a comparable system of communication to Empires and Capsuleers based on tachyons. This may be involved, as well, in the spacial rift anomolies associated with Rogue Drones and Sleeper Drones.
