A Scientific Instrument Package, also known as an SIP or Scientific Information Packet, functioned as a mechanism for gathering and holding information.
In the era of the Clone Wars, Jedi General Rii'ke En received orders to retrieve an SIP from the world of Honoghr. The SIP held information pertaining to diverse viruses and variants that were developed on the Confederacy of Independent Systems research vessel, the Gahenna, including the potent defoliant known as Trihexalophine1138.
