XX-23 homing beacon

The XX-23 homing beacon was an s-thread tracking device produced by Imperial Engineering and used during the Galactic Civil War.

The XX-23 was a small cylinder that broadcast a continuous signal that could be recieved by HoloNet s-threads. A dedicated computer would then be able to determine when the ship crossed an s-thread, and plot its course with this information.

The homing device planted onboard Millennium Falcon by a HMOR homing droid may have been a variant of the XX-23 design.
