Psychic dampener

Psychic dampeners were a device that could be fitted into individuals and prevent Force-sensitives from reaching into their minds and creating illusions of what they feared most. The Nihil Ithorian scientist Baron Boolan had psychic dampeners fitted, a fact that came to be known by the Force-sensitive Fallanassi woman H'Tar.

When H'Tar and the Nazzar Krrl traveled to Boolan's lair Shingcu Station to rescue Krrl's sister Akray, who had been kidnapped by the baron, between 229 BBY and 228 BBY, she knew she would not be able to reach into Boolan's mind because he had been fitted with the dampeners. Instead, she began to reach into the mind of his assistant Reek until she stopped and attempted to flee after learning the Ithorian had a Force-consuming Nameless creature present. She was then betrayed by Krrl and handed over to Boolan in exchange for his sister.
