An amusing bunch of fools. How could you expect these to save your Republic, Taron?

No...seriously.

Could it be a cipher?

I don't think so. There's nothing suggesting any encryption method.
Feels more like a riddle.

Along with this data, we discovered a cryptic message embedded within the original transmission. It reads as follows:
"We are not equal; cut us twice and we are."
Normally we wouldn't care about a single line of Sansha doublespeak, but this riddle appeared in a section pertaining to shield frequencies, damage control circuits, and self-destruct mechanisms. We need to know what it means and we need to know now.
Why would an enemy intent on the purging of all people give away their weakness, no matter how cleverly disguised? I'd sooner believe that instead of being the key to stopping their supposedly great and mighty forces this riddle would lead someone to doing exactly as they desire. Simply... it's a trap.
If not, we need not do anything and just let the Sansha so cutely annihilate itself with puns and riddles. Give them enough and they'll lift the masquerade entirely. With all the work they put into modifying the minds of subjects they've apparently taken from themselves any sense of self-preservation!

I suspect the riddle is deceptively simple. "Equal" to me suggests mathematics; "cut" suggests something visual, as opposed to "divide." For example:
88 3333
These numbers are not "equal" in value, but if you "cut" the two 8's straight down the middle, you're visually left with four 3's, giving you equal values.
I'm guessing we're overthinking the problem, and the actual riddle and answer itself should seem obvious when we're done.
How about the 22:00 that was provided. Slash the 00 down the middle and you get 11 and 11 that will make 22:22
Probably to simple :)

On second thought, it's probably just a ruse to keep our pilots who've accomplished the ability to speak so busy with playing games instead of acting to throw something hot or explosive at the enemy.

Most likely, the answer is the password you must set your shield frequency too, like what you do for Poses.
