This type of kit is strictly regulated and normally only legal for authorized skip-tracers. It includes access decoders and other specialized tools required to overcome the security systems of a starship. Skip-tracers, shipjackers and spies use these kits to force their way aboard starships. These kits are despised by free spacers and tramp freighter skippers alike.
Unauthorized possession of one of these kits is a crime and is cause for arrest on most worlds. Many ship owners, given the chance, will fire first and looks for the appropriate licenses later. |
