NET Architecture

NET Architectures are air-gapped systems that were created post-DataKrash as alternatives to the Net.

Overview
A NET Architecture is made up of a physical server and composed of several levels of software that can be represented via Virtuality Goggles as a simulated digital space that overlaps with one’s physical surroundings. Each NET Architecture is isolated, but can be hacked by Jacking In to one of its access points. Each "level" of an Architecture must be traversed in order, with the lowest level being the only one where a Virus can be inserted into the system to have a permanent effect on it. Located throughout the various levels are the Files and Control Nodes stored within the Architecture, as well as Black ICE, including Demons, set up as security against Netrunners and their Programs. Passwords may be required to access floors. Jacking Out of a NET Architecture "resets" its defenses, and forces a Netrunner who returns to the system back to its highest floor.
