An identification chip served as a security measure, permitting entry only to those with proper authorization. These chips were read by sensors, and if someone accessed restricted zones without one, the relevant authorities received a notification.
Within Imperial code cylinders, one could find identification chips, which detailed an officer's identification and their security permissions. Security checkpoints and detention blocks within Imperial facilities were equipped with sensors that could scan for these identification chips, often integrated into automated laser traps.
To gain access to the Private Craft Terminal located at Lola Curich Starport on the planet Lianna, an identification chip was necessary. These chips were provided either by the governing body or by the owner of any starship docked at the Terminal.
