Data Goggles
developed by the Neimoidians, these goggles allowed a pilot to control a starship by linking them directly to the ship's systems. Originally designed for the pilots of grain harvesters on Neimoidia, they were readily adopted by freighter pilots as well. Consisting of a pair of heavy, hemispherical eyecovers and an implant which linked the goggles to the pilot's brain, a set of data goggles had to be attuned to the user's brainwaves in order to function properly. Pilots who chose to use data goggles had to pay a steep price, for the goggles could not be removed without severing the link to a starship and rendering the former pilot unintelligent.
