| I've always been led to believe that the security depiction of memorandums was more an illustration of whether or not the item was classified or open; as in how easy the item would be to hack. However, illustrated in the following post Senator Tiure replies directly to a Memorandum not directed to him, which makes me think that perhaps the security depiction of Memo's is not an indication of how easy it is to hack, but whether it's a public file that can readily be read by anyone (including civilians) on, say, the Holonet? If the earlier is true, then would it not become apparently that Senator Tiure hacked the Justices "email" to get said Memo? Sorry for the confusion, I was wondering if anyone could clarify this point for me.

| You're right in both cases. The most general classification of memos is either "Classified" or not. However, some may wish to go further by suggesting that a particular message is not only classified but also, if you will, especially classified, or rather encrypted in some additional fashion. This is largely up to the discretion of the player, because if a memo is in any way described as classified, as a manager I am inclined to uphold it as classified and even, usually, reject most attempts to slice into them (slicing is a very delicate point, as far as managing such things goes; the rule of thumb thus far has been that it requires having some infrastructure in place and, also, some hint that the slicing is taking place—a good example was New Republic Intelligence RPing out the construction of a secret listening post on Eriadu to intercept Imperial communications. Another good example; Trevor Page's listening in on Njon the Hutt's transmission on Nar Shaddaa, which is occurring now). In the case of Forte and Jamulon, all of the memos in that thread thus far are described as "Open," or public. To me, it's reasonable in that case that the concerned parties and their lawyers would have access to these memos and be able to respond to them. [+]--[+]--[+]--[+]--[+]--[+]--[+]--[+]

| And therein lied the confusion. I was under the assumption that "Open" stood for no encryption (easier to hack) but not necessarily open as, readable to all parties concerned (much as an e-mail needs to include cc: for other parties to receive it). Thank you for the clarification.
