An identification card

An identichip,[2] also known as an identicard,[3] or an identification card, was a card used to verify an individual's identity. Imperial citizens were required to carry their identification at all times.

TIE fighter pilots carried a white ID card used to verify their identities. They placed the card into the slot of an astromech droid until they got the confirmation beep. Sabine Wren used one to get past security at the Skystrike Academy.[4]

As the Galactic Empire tightened control of planetary trade routes, blank ID chips became priceless, and individuals such as Dvorad were known to have obtained a supply of them. Enfys Nest tricked Tobias Beckett and his crew into stealing Dvorad's supply and delivering them into her hands, but Beckett destroyed his ship to prevent her from getting the ID chips.[5]

Several months into the Iron Blockade, the Rebel Alliance wanted to steal a set of identicards from several newer members of the Bounty Hunters' Guild.[3]

This section of the article assumes 100% game completion of Star Wars: Uprising. Any alternate stories may be noted in the "Behind the scenes" section. The events in this section may or may not have been confirmed as canon.

A young scoundrel dispatched a member of his crew to steal the cards, and the Alliance paid for that service.[3]
