Navigation computer

A navigation computer was a computer used to make the necessary calculations to navigate at faster-than-light speeds known as hyperspace. It was also sometimes known as a navicomputer, nav computer, or a navigational computer.

Although navicomputers were used in most of the known galaxy, they functioned poorly in the Unknown Regions. As a result, the peoples of the Unknown Regions used Force-sensitive navigators with the power of precognition instead of navicomputers. In particular, the Chiss Ascendancy used Force-sensitive children known as ozyly-esehembo as navigators.

The assassin Ochi of Bestoon had his navicomputer wiped clean to cover his tracks and keep his secret assignment hidden.
