Pulsar tracking

Legends

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Pulsar tracking was a method used by the Trade Federation to locate starships. Pulsar tracking was fairly reliable for targeting large laser cannons on a starship. It obtained less accurate readings from a spinning ship, which a brave pilot would sometimes utilise dangerously to avoid detection.
