Hailing Frequencies

Hailing frequencies represent a set of universally recognized subspace channels and communication protocols designed for first contact scenarios. These frequencies are monitored by all spacefaring civilizations and provide a common starting point for establishing communication with unknown vessels.

The protocols include automated translation initialization, identification handshakes, and threat assessment indicators. Ships broadcast on multiple hailing frequencies simultaneously to maximize chances of contact. The system incorporates both audio and data channels, allowing for transmission of universal mathematical concepts and basic translation matrices before verbal communication begins.
