XXt-26 S-thread tracker

Legends Linked from 6 articles

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

The XXt-26 S-thread tracker was a homing beacon manufactured by Neuro-Saav Technologies. Its narrow-beam hyperspace transponder signal was configured to blend into the "background noise" caused by drive emissions, making it virtually undetectable except for dedicated scanners.

IG-88B hid two of these scanners aboard Boba Fett's starship, Slave I. IG-88C and IG-88D tracked the ship to Tatooine and sought to steal the carbonite-encased Han Solo, but Fett outsmarted the assassin droids and claimed Jabba the Hutt's bounty on Solo.
