HoloNet transceiver implant
This device was a bi-directional HoloNet transceiver implant that also functioned as a mind-control tool, replicating the properties of Nihil smokestone. It enabled Imperials to both listen in on and broadcast Triclops's thoughts to Imperial probe droids during his sleep. The New Republic used Triclops to feed false data to the Imperials. They also discovered that uncommon Macaab mushrooms found on Arzid were capable of eliminating the implant without harming Triclops's mental state, but this plan was ultimately never carried out.
