Hello everyone,

I must warn you that English is not my firt language. So please, be indulgent with me :-).

I'm new to Star Wars Edge of the Empire. I know... I'm so late about this marvelous game. There is so much to read and learn. I have decided to play the game in an Era that does not exist...yet.... Like if we it was episode X and more. We are 15 years after epidoe IX. My players ask me to do that.

NOw, I want to use a brain-wave projector. I have read that such a device exist in the LEGEND unvierse. Now, my question is this : is there a kind of brain-wave device that can not lony read toughts but also record it and project it like an hologram of on a computer screen? The way I understand the brain-wave projetor, it is a mind control device only... not a mind probe recorder.

I need you encyclopedic knowledge because I'M such a padawan in Star wars... compare to you all 🙂

Thank you for taking the time ... for answering me.

Not to my knowledge, but there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to homebrew one.

sounds like a knock off of a holocron. It also sounds like something that would be super rare. or lost tech.

I would treat it something like how Palpatine was able to influence Yoda's mind in the final season 6 episodes of Clone Wars. Just work it in reverse, I like Daeglan's idea of using holocron technology to build it, twisted with the dark side of the Force.

As you are looking for a mind control device, just say that the device works as the Influence Force Power with a set Force Rating rather than the user's FR. I would say the user doesn't have to be Force sensitive unless your thoughts are that the person using it uses the Force to power it.

It's your universe, go for it. 😄

Actually the first thing I thought of was Brainstorm from 1983, with Christopher Walken:

The technology in Star Wars seems plausible and reasonable, but I do agree that it should be rare or a prototype of some kind.
