Canon Legends version → Linked from 247 articles

A homing beacon, also known as a homing device, tracker, tracking device, Tracer Beacon, homing signal, or tracking beacon, were devices used to track starships and other vehicles. Various vessels, including Slave I and the TIE/ad v1, could fire homing beacons on to enemy starships with projectile launchers. The XX-23 S-thread tracker was a homing beacon that allowed the Galactic Empire to track a starship through hyperspace to their destination.
