Fluidics was an alternative computer technology used by the Yvarema in place of standard computer circuits because of the nature of the Kathol Rift. The system used microvalves and pipes of pressured gas or liquids rather than electrical circuits. The system was known to be larger than galactic standard compared to normal computers, delicate to physical damage, and maintenance heavy. However, the mechanical nature of fluidics made it immune to damage from ion weapons or the frequent energy discharges of the Kathol Rift.

- Fluidics, or fluidic logic, is the use of a fluid to perform analog or digital operations similar to those performed with electronics. The physical basis of fluidics is pneumatics and hydraulics, based on the theoretical foundation of fluid dynamics. The term fluidics is normally used when devices have no moving parts, so ordinary hydraulic components such as hydraulic cylinders and spool valves are not considered or referred to as fluidic devices. The 1960s saw the application of fluidics to sophisticated control systems, with the introduction of the fluidic amplifier.

This provides nonlinear amplification, similar to the transistor used in electronic digital logic.
