Phononic lattice storage

Phononic lattice storage was the method of data collection in the Death Star Library, rather than the practice of holding holobooks, tapes, and holocrons. It allowed for the storage of a large amount of information in a small space, something which the Death Star had only at a premium.

Atour Riten supervised droids that scanned information into the database from other media, which had extensive files, top-notch broadcast-to-reader circuitry, and retrieval systems thick with memory for faster downloads.
