DESCRIPTION
The ST-7 "Sentinel" lightsaber detector is a fairly new product line by ChandrilTech, the release of which was moved forward as a result of the trouble across the galaxy with lightsaber wielding terrorists. It took the form of a heavy deployable 'tower' stood up on stand legs and placed in a static location and ideally hooked up to a power generator or direct power line. The physical body consists of a central core and three outer panels that each contain two sensors.

Diatium power cell and kyber crystal scanners were designed to seek out specific concentrations and sizes of charged diatium and kyber crystals within set guidelines out to 200 meters. The radar and sonar systems located in the core allowed it to pinpoint precisely where in three dimensional space it found a lightsaber. It transmitted this data either through a direct line or wirelessly to a nearby system it was aligned to in real time, usually a security station.

The core also contained a simple droid brain, which allowed it to take verbal instructions from authorized users using pre-established parameters such as passcodes or specific phrases if they are set, as well as making it moderately more difficult to slice into than a common sensor. The device is activated by a top-inserted code cylinder it is set to, which is also used to adjust settings. If set to maximum security, the Sentinel will not accept changes in parameters without the code cylinder for any reason and unauthorized access of its chassis or software will result in a reboot and security alert on connected systems.

The final touch is a redundant IFF authenticator that can be set to scan for a variety of potential identifiers within its range, including individual electronic Ranger badges. If it finds a lightsaber that also contains a recognizable IFF signal it will alert the connected security station to the presence of a friendly scan. Using onboard speakers, it can also sound a customizable alarm should a lightsaber show up within a specified radius of the scan area. It can be connected to local defense system networks such as turrets or droids in along with a security station to allow for quick defensive readiness.

The external duraplast casing is durable and weighty, rust-proof, and capable of surviving significant physical shock without damaging the internals. Most of the outside is coated in a thin layer of phrik, preventing it from casually being sliced in half by those it's designed to find.

They are not too often seen around the galaxy due to their relative newness and above average price, but they are most commonly seen placed in Ranger stations or even sometimes in the bases of wealthy criminals who had them stolen for their use.

In response to the attack on a Corellian ranger station by the Knights of Ren, two units were donated to that station by ChandrilTech. Four more were donated to the Ranger station on Coruscant immediately after saber-wielding terrorists assaulted a remote prison on the planet to free one of their own.

LEGALITY
Legal, though they are fairly expensive and ChandrilTech refuses to sell directly to criminal organizations of any kind.

INTENT
To create a stationary sensor that PCs and organizations can use to even the playing field against saber-wielders.
