An alternative technology developed by Triax industries to compete with gelcircuitry. Nano-optronics have slightly less data density than a comparable Gelcircuitry system. However, they make up for it by having better hardening against interferance, and their immunity to Holtzman Fields makes them a much better choice for robotics, especially when they are partially exposed as in starfighters.

Nano-Optronics are also useful for making inexpensive computer systems like those that are used in missilie guidance packages and civilian targeting computers, or even civilian computers, as gelcircuitry is still limited to mostly Mrrshan Military fleets. In addition, they can be used to build miniaturized starship computer cores, These miniaturized computer cores take up roughly 10% of the space over a normal computer core while maintaining the same capacity.
