Legend

this Customs-grade holoscanner was designed and produced by BAS Research and Development during the height of the New Order. It resembled a small computer, but had a large viewscreen. This viewscreen was square in shape, measuring two meters on each side, and allowed security and customs officers to get a good image of the beings they were scanning. The touch-sensitive screen allowed officers to zoom in on certain areas of the being they were scanning, primarily the skeleton, digestive tract, and circulatory systems. The BAS44 could also scan packages and parcels in which contraband might be smuggled. Although the BAS44 was originally designed for use solely on Aargau, many ended up in the possession of wealthy Core Worlds beings. The BAS44 used powerful imaging scanners to allow officers to "see inside" a being, and it was found that exposure for more than a minute to the BAS44's scanners caused damage much like an energy weapon.
