XXt-26 S-thread tracker

For other uses, see S-thread.

The XXt-26 S-thread tracker was a homing beacon manufactured by Neuro-Saav Technologies. Its narrow-beam hyperspace transponder signal was configured to blend into the "background noise" caused by drive emissions, making it virtually undetectable except for dedicated scanners.^[1]

IG-88B hid two of these scanners aboard Boba Fett's starship, Slave I.^[1] IG-88C and IG-88D tracked the ship to Tatooine and sought to steal the carbonite-encased Han Solo, but Fett outsmarted the assassin droids and claimed Jabba the Hutt's bounty on Solo.^[3]
