OrcNet
OrcNet was a globe spanning, publicly accessible network of interconnected computer networks on the planet Orceron, which operated through a number of protocols that transmitted data by packet switching. OrcNet is considered the first PWN in Delta Quadrant history.
OrcNet was a "network of networks" that consists of millions of smaller domestic, academic, business, and government networks, which together carried various information and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, file transfer, and the interlinked web pages and other documents of the world wide web.
As the first space colonies were established on the moons of Orceron, the network grew to link several celestial bodies. Before it could grow to interstellar distances however, it was destroyed entirely in the Great Cataclysm of Orceron when the surface of the world was eradicated. What little nodes remained on other celestial bodies soon stopped functioning with the core nodes gone.
Later, a similar network was established on Aldaain, called OrcNet 2.0. This later grew into the interstellar subspace network known as OrcNET.
