Signature key

Canon Linked from 6 articles

Signature keys were a type of starship component which modulated ships' magnetic signatures. They could be modified to allow the ship to change its signature whenever it wanted. Small in size, they were typically mounted deep inside its structure, which meant that altering a key could only be done when a ship was at port.
