F-163-Oliver: Spanial (Hyperspace to Mundo Zargo)

Normally, yes.  This way, no – it’s a wide-open back door.

You have to:

• know it’s there;
• know the specific details of exactly how to access and communicate with the sub-systems;
• have a physical connection to the ship’s comms infrastructure.

But if you have those things, it’s an open connection that operates on a level the existing security doesn’t even see. 

Oliver might be able to extend the ship’s security and firewalls to include that extra module, but he’ll need to be careful – once he brings that connection inside the firewall, it becomes able to be logged and audited.
