The Clan uses Meson Communicators for medium-range transmissions, does not have the problem laser communications has with dissipating the LASER by dust or gases. Maximum operational range 1 light-seconds, actual range longer, it becomes more difficult to keep proper alignment.
Operation
This communications medium can be either bi-directional or uni-directional. It can only communicate with a single target. A stream of Scalar mesons is fired at a target with a unit that detects mesons. The beam is modulated by the data, which changes the particle emission rate. Bi-directional communications requires a transmitter and a receiver at both ends.

Meson communications are a staple of sci-fi.
Technically you fire a beam of mesons and modulate it, just like laser communicators do.
