Hyperwave transceiver

Hyperwave transceivers or hyper-transcievers were secure transmitting devices used to transmit hyperwave signals. During the liberation of Kashyyyk in 5 ABY, Sinjir Rath Velus used a hyperwave transceiver spike hidden in the heel of his boot to transmit signals which disrupted the control module which controlled the inhibitor chips that kept the Wookiee slaves on the planet docile. This sparked a planet-wide Wookiee uprising against Imperial rule. Princess Leia Organa and her team used these devices during Operation Yellow Moon.
