A holo-band is a wrist device used in the Malverand Intergalactic Empire for communication, information searches and access to authorized systems. Its wearer operates a holographic interface by touching its controls.
Information and clearance
The bands retrieve identity and status records and lists of known magic users. They also store written notes; Amos used his band to preserve his memories.
Security clearance governs access to imperial systems. Amos used his band to grant clearance for a Scientist type A warpship and to gain entry to the research cavern at Zarephon.
Communication
Holo-bands carry voice communications and messages. They also receive broadcasts throughout the empire, including evacuation orders from the authorities.

Information and clearance
Holo-bands display identity and status records, maps, technical data and ship classifications. Users can save written notes and record conversations. The information returned depends on the user's access: Isandro can hide details from other users and grant permission to see them.

Communication
The bands carry voice and holographic calls, receive imperial broadcasts and display recorded footage. Urgent transmissions can appear without waiting for the wearer to accept them. Calls and messages over long distances can be delayed by minutes or days, preventing an immediate conversation.
Scanning
A band's scanner can identify people and examine the composition of materials, including their essence content. Amos's band also has a vision amplifier. More advanced separate scanners are used for detailed scientific work.
A live unit estimation converter can compare energy measurements, including essence, with warp engine output. Its essence estimates are unstable because many variables affect them.
