   Deployable. In addition to Turret or 
  Barbette costs. 
  A Activity Sensor 
   (Electronics. Passive). Activity 
  Sensors detect thought activity (also 
  based on the principles of Perception). 
   
  B Deep Radar 
   (Electronics. Active). Deep Radar is a 
  world sensor. Deep Radar can map 
  underground density structures. It is a 
  lower tech equivalent of Densitometer. 
   
  C Communicator 
   (Electronics. Passive/Active). 
  Communicators (radio) receive and 
  transmit modulated energy to carry 
  information. They carry voice (or any 
  language of any type including tactile 
  and pvoice) and may carry images. 
   Communicators are line-of-sight 
  devices; they cannot transmit through 
  objects (worlds, planets, stars). 
  Receiving messages is Passive; 
  transmitting messages is Active.  
   
   Communicators normally operate in 
  Broadcast mode. The broadcast can be 
  intercepted by any Communicator. 
   Communicators operating in 
  BeamCast mode must first detect their 
  intended receiver. Range is Maximum 
  Range minus 2. The Beamcast cannot 
  be intercepted (unless the interceptor is 
  in the Beamcast beam. 
   Communicators operating in Burst 
  Mode compress their message into a 
  very short burst. Interception of a Burst 
  requires resolution of the Sensor Task 
  with double the required dice. 
   
   Communicator Operations. A 
  Communicator or CommPlus can 
  receive a Broadcast if it is within the 
  transmitting Communicator’s Range. 
   
  D Densitometer 
   (Gravitics. Passive). A Densitometer 
  is a remote Mass Detectors capable of 
  identifying masses and mapping their 
  interior density structures. 
   Densitometers are subject to a Depth 
  Limit (in World Range). The three-
  dimensional map created has a 
  resolution expressed in pixels (Px); 
  each pixel is expressed in Size. 
  E EMS ElectroMagnetic Sensors 
   (Electronics. Passive/ Active). EMS 
  is a sophisticated form of Radar; its 
  signals are aggressively computer 
  analyzed for detailed information. 
  Passive EMS senses existing EM 
  radiation (including emissions by the 
  target, reflected local energy, and 
  occluded background energy). Active 
  EMS projects radio pulses in sweeping 
  scans of an area and interprets the 
  returned signals (echoes) for 
  information about an objects size, 
  distance, and speed. 
   
  F Field Sensor  
   (Electronics or Magnetics. Passive). 
  Field Sensors are multi-purpose 
  detectors sensitive to electric and 
  magnetic fields. They operate in much 
  the way Awareness operates. 
   
  G Grav Sensor  
   (Gravitics. Passive). The Grav 
  Sensor detects gravity sources (large 
  masses) and the operation Gravitics-
  based technology (M-Drives and G-
  Drives). 
   
  H HoloVisor  
   (Photonics. Passive). HoloVisor is 
  the ultimate vision screen system, 
  using external light detectors and 
  displaying them in 3D projection 
  (computer enhancements fill in gaps, 
  extrapolate unseen sides of objects, 
  and maintain a complete image in 
  memory). 
   
  J Jammer 
   (Electronics, Magnetics, Gravitics. 
  Passive). Jammer is an anti-sensor. 
  The device scrambles or distorts the 
  transmissions and readings of other 
  sensors. 
   The value or effectiveness of 
  Jammer is the sum of (TL + Char + 
  Skill + Mod – Space Range). Jammer is 
  a negative Mod on the attempting 
  Active or Passive Radar, EMS, or 
  Scanner Sensor Task, or operation of 
  DataCaster.
