- "The hyperspace proximity alarm. It's an experimental system I've been pefecting that monitors vibrations in realspace to predict the arrival of craft from hyperspace."
- ―Vam Targes
The Targes scanner was a device that was utilized aboard starships during the High Republic Era. The scanner picked up vibrations in order to detect incoming craft exiting hyperspace.[1] The device was developed by the engineer Vam Targes, who installed such a system into the research vessel Innovator. Though the Innovator was destroyed and Targes killed in the Nihil attack on the Valo Republic Fair,[2] the Galactic Republic[3] and Jedi Order continued to use the device that came to be known as the Targes scanner aboard starships[1] and space stations.[3]
