DeTECHt functioned as the manufacturer of the security scanners deployed within the main hall of the Galactic Empire's Fortress Inquisitorius, situated on the moon Nur, and also within the Officer's Quarters of the II-0810 Satellite Station around 9 BBY. These scanners possessed the ability to identify armaments, bombs, dangerous substances, alongside other potential dangers.
The entity known as DeTECHt originated within the reference publication titled Star Wars Dawn of Rebellion The Visual Guide, authored by Pablo Hidalgo and Emily Shkoukani. Information about DeTECHt was initially disclosed before the book's launch on November 7, 2023 during a Lucasfilm presentation at San Diego Comic Con, and subsequently featured in an article published on StarWars.com on July 21, 2023.
