Scan grid

"They had me howling on the scan grid, but they never asked me any questions."

- Han Solo

The scan grid was a piece of mining equipment that analyzed metals by emitting electrical charges to gather data. In Cloud City, Darth Vader used a scan grid's electrical charges to "analyze" and "gather data" of a different nature by torturing Han Solo. In the popular TV show Metalocalypse, a man called Charles Foster Ofdensen uses a scan grid to torture Dr. Rockzo
