Chemical scanner

A chemical scanner was a type of scanner for detecting chemicals. During the Clone Wars, Sa'arli, a Tarasin aide to the Cularin system's senator Lavina Wren, had access to a YT-1300 light freighter equipped with a portable chemical scanner. The scanner had a range of 200 meters.^[1]

This section of the article assumes a specific path in the roleplaying adventure Who Goes Thaere?. Alternate paths may be noted in the "Behind the scenes" section. The events in this section may or may not have been confirmed as canonical within the Star Wars Legends continuity.

Circa 21 BBY,^[2] Sa'arli hired a group of freelance agents to investigate suspicious activity on the Cularin system moon Ostfrei and loaned them use of the YT-1300 and accompanying chemical sensor for the assignment. During their mission, the group deployed the scanner on the surface of Ostfrei to locate a hidden pirate base, by tracking a trail of carbonyl ions and ionized methyl that led to the facility.^[1]

Assumption ends here.

Behind the scenes

The chemical scanner appeared in the Living Force roleplaying adventure Who Goes Thaere?, written by Ronald A. Heintz and released in 2004. In the adventure the players roleplay as the freelance agents hired by Sa'arli to investigate Ostfrei and it is possible for Sa'arli to loan the players the use of the YT-1300 freighter equipped with a chemical scanner for the duration of the assignment. It is then also possible for the players to utilize the scanner to find the pirate base on Ostfrei.^[1]
