Transmitter chip

Canon Linked from 17 articles

Transmitter chips were devices which could be planted within the bodies of enslaved people and set to detonate if too far removed from the enslaver. The human Anakin Skywalker and his mother, Shmi Skywalker, were each implanted with a transmitter chip while they were enslaved by the Toydarian Watto.
