DNS Protocol: The Federation Targeting Database

Objectives cleared0 / 2
+15 XP per step · +75 XP for completing the quest
Pilots call targets by codename — "Alpha Base," "Zeon Relay Seven" — but the network only understands coordinates (IP addresses). DNS is the Federation Targeting Database that translates codenames into coordinates instantly. Without it, you would have to memorize every IP on the grid.
Primary Objective
Understand how DNS translates domain names into IP addresses.
