Centrally Controlled Independent Replicant or CCIR, was a type of remote-control technology used by Loronar Corporation in synthdroids and Needle fighters.
CCIR technology allowed multiple automatons to be controlled by large central computers rather than a large number of miniaturized droid brains. The technology relied on near-instantaneous transmission between programmable crystals. The need for only minimal internal computers cut the construction cost for such droids although the cost of programmable crystals proved high until Loronar began enslaving Tsils from Nam Chorios in order to accomplish the instant communication needed.
