- "Our detectors had no trouble following the heat particle trail from those droids' power cells."
- ―Stormtrooper
A heat detector was a type of sensor.[1] A heat detector functioned by examining energy,[4] such as particles of heat,[2] emitted by another source.[4] Industrial Automaton's R2-series astromech droids were equipped with heat detectors as part of their standard sensor package.[1]
Imperial Stormtroopers were capable of tracking droids with heat detectors due to the heat particles emitted by droid power cells.[2] Heat detectors fitted to seeker droids could be fitted with infrared scopes to detect footprints and other heat sources.[5] Scarab Mark VI assassin droids used heat detectors, in conjunction with pheromone sniffers and biorhythm analyzers to track their targets.[6]
