Geosync data resulted from a location geosync performed by a droid. As part of its self-diagnostics in 0 BBY, the MSE-6 series repair droid named MSE-6-G735Y, which was assigned to the Death Star alongside the Imperial stormtrooper TK-421, carried out location geosyncs with the DS-1OBS Network. Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin then implemented Imperial Protocol Alpha One, instructing the mouse droid to direct its geosync information, in conjunction with other identifying details, to his own ephemeradata-neurocloud prior to erasing it, thereby preventing any record of his dealings with TK-421.
