An ID profile represented an electronic transmission originating from starships, carrying crucial identification data about the vessel. This data encompassed elements like the ship's title, registration identification, the proprietor's identity, and the ship's designated home base. Furthermore, it incorporated specialized specifics such as the starship's categorization, armament capabilities, and power source evaluations. A vessel's transponder broadcasted this coded ID profile upon receiving a request from an interrogator module, which were commonly incorporated into military ships and spaceport air traffic control facilities.
Tampering with or changing an ID profile was against the law, despite the fact that it could be accomplished, albeit with some complications.
