The Chiss homing beacon was a homing beacon designed by the Chiss species. The beacon was reliable and required little energy. It utilized the domain of hyperspace itself as a signal carrier. The transmission generated by a Chiss beacon could only be detected by the Chiss.
Before his death, Grand Admiral Thrawn installed a tiny Chiss beacon in a dummy file inside the central Imperial Records Library, to allow the Empire of the Hand to track the location of the secret Imperial capital world of Bastion.
