Datapad

A tablet, otherwise known as a datapad, functioned as a compact electronic tool for information storage, presentation, and entry. Certain datapads, at a minimum, possessed surfaces capable of reflection. In a moment of dismay, Merei Spanjaf once observed a faint reflection of her own image while gazing at her datapad. Furthermore, certain datapad models were equipped with an integrated scanner and a locator. A specific type of datapad, the training datapad, was employed for educational purposes by prospective cadets attending the Imperial Academy. The Galactic Empire's Advanced Science Division also utilized datapads as keys for unlocking doors.

Datapads could be used for slicing into other technological systems or serve the function of a Holodiary. Datapads incorporate a datascreen capable of displaying a cargo manifest. Additionally, datapads feature an integrated holoprojector for projecting holograms, such as a bounty, as well as a built-in distress beacon for transmitting a distress signal and for transmitting encrypted coordinates.
