Information Retrieval

Legends Canon version → Linked from 5 articles

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

Information Retrieval was a vast clearinghouse of data accessible to the law enforcement and high government officials, such as Pantoran ChairmanBaron Notluwiski Papanoida, who while analyzing a blood sample, used it to determine his daughters Che Amanwe and Chi Eekway were kidnapped by the Rodian bounty hunter Greedo.

Information Retrieval could also be used to detect the identity of a someone covered by a hood and in a hologram. This was how Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano and a few cadets at Mandalore's Royal Academy determined Prime Minister Almec was involved in a black market conspiracy.
