Lighthouse




 * “The lighthouse is the centre of all your battles. All information is gathered and all commands are given from here."


 * -Lero-Ro to his Light Bearer trainees

A Lighthouse is a network of cubes. These cubes are of varying sizes and some or all of them can be merged. These cubes can also be called Light Cubes.

At least some of these cubes provide the function of light and the larger cubes are called Lights(Ch 40). However, these cubes can also be called Lighthouses as they are also devices which house light and are used for illuminating the path in the Tower. And these Lights also are capable of gathering information which is transmitted back to the Lighthouse.

The main cube of the Lighthouse is a central unit, which can be called a battle command centre. If it is taken over by an enemy, the network will fall apart. So, the Lighthouse Keeper must be able to defend it by being well-versed in combat and also know how to block a hacking attempt.

A Lighthouse(probably Light) is used to feed information to Guides, who will then help the Light Bearer find the path.

Basic Functions
A Lighthouse is also capable of connecting to a Scout's Observer. These Observers will provide it with more detailed visual information which Light Bearers use to analyse and coordinate their team. Some Lighthouses can also be used as an Observer but this reduces its mobility, as well as making it harder to handle.

Also, the Lighthouse has a feature which can adjust and guide the trajectory of the spear, enabling Spear Bearers to throw it tens of kilometers away.

Battle Command Centre
The main cube of the Lighthouse network is a central unit which can be called the battle command centre. Inside this cube, there are multiple screens, cubes and other components which float in Shinsoo. It's unknown if all these items are made of high grade Suspendium or if the Light Bearer must use Shinsoo to make them float.

The cubes all aid in information gathering. One of these cubes is a search cube and when connected to a certain or another cube, it provides a search window. Through this window, one can then access the "Intelligence Network" which contains profiles of many famous individuals and perhaps other types of information as well(Ch 32).

The cubes then feed the information into the screens which provide information like live visual feedback, possibly graphs, statistics and so on. The Lighthouse also has a loudspeaker function, which provides audio feedback.



A Lighthouse can be connected with other Lighthouse networks to form a network of Lighthouses. Through all the visual input gathered by all these Lighthouses, each Lighthouse Keeper will be able to receive certain amounts of visual-audio and other types of data in areas occupied by Light Bearers or Lighthouse Keepers. When another Lighthouse is connected to a Lighthouse, it will show up as an additional display screen. This allows the Lighthouse Keeper

A Lighthouse is capable of recording the total amount Shinsoo used by a person, during a battle. This implies a Lighthouse is capable of recording other types of information.

A Lighthouse can also be hacked into.This was demonstrated by Hachuling when he hacked into Koon Agero Agnis' Lighthouse so he could take control of it.
