The method of voice communication over small distances, Shortwave is called such because it only has a usable operating radius of several kilometers on all but the clearest of days (as opposed to the length of the wave itself).

Long range messages are handled by a different technology called Longpulse.

Design note: Shortwave is in fact what we would call FM radio, but due to the EMP interference of Azimuth's atmosphere, radio is ineffective at great distances.
