Datapad - Overview

Age of Rebellion Notes

The ubiquitous datapad can be found in even the most remote galactic locale. A powerful combination of communications device, holo messenger, handheld computer, and personal database, datapads combine a number of common electronics in one easy-to-use package. Most have touch screens, but some use holographic imaging devices to project their data, and all can be connected to the galactic HoloNet. All datapads can be encrypted, and many have emergency data destructs that wipe their memory if they are lost or stolen.

Edge of the Empire Notes

Datapads are common on most technologically civilized planets, and are used to record, store, display, and organize almost any kind of data from basic text to holographic recordings. Most come with a small display screen, though some use holoprojectors and are small enough to be easily carried in one or two hands, depending on the model. They are commonly encoded or encrypted so that only the actual owner can operate them; some are even set to wipe all data if unauthorized users attempt access.
