Legend

developed by Audio Performance Incorporated, this small device was basically a passive field generator. It was originally developed for the Alliance's military, which wanted to provide its field agents with a way to conceal an agent's bodily emissions. This allowed agents to move about in close quarters without being detected on lifeform scanners. After the Battle of Endor, many of these devices were discovered in the posession of smugglers and pirates who wanted to hide their actions. When a criminal needed to bypass a security or safety systems, they could slice into the wiring and computer systems and use the No-Show to generate an uninterrupted feed to the security systems. The criminals could then cut through a hull or access panel without setting off the system's sensors.
