OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
The gravimetric sensor net looks for planetary bodies in motion through space at long range, it however; cannot distinguish whether this object is a passing vessel, asteroid, comet or anything other than it is simply an object in motion. It is left up to the operator to determine whether this object is worth investigating. The operator can request the sensor to bring up its logs and compare older data to new data. The sensor can give basic parameters such as length, width and the estimated weight of the object in motion.
Below is an example of what a sensor operator would see when utilising the sensor. As you can imagine, a sensor that is sensitive to mass would have illuminated several thousands of objects at once. Therefore as a component in a much larger sensor system, it can only provide limited information and should not be relied upon solely to provide information to the operator.
Strengths:
Due to the ever expanding borders of the First Order, FODOS (First Order Department of Science) needed a basic sensor to assist in locating moving planetary bodies. While there are more highly advanced sensors, they first needed to send out survey teams on smaller science ships before sending in a full line of vessels to investigate the matter. They needed to know about the movement of objects to do two things, the first of which was to further study of motion in space. So that perhaps they could get a better understanding of gravimetric distortions in their natural state and other naturally occurring gravimetric-related phenomena. Secondly, so that they could assist the First Order Department of Transportation with up to date information so that trade routes, hyperlanes and the like could be maintained as needed to ensure safety throughout the First Order.
Intent: To create a sensor that will assist in the tracking and detection of planetary bodies and objects in motion.

Strengths:
Objects: It can detect objects moving through space so long as it has mass.
Indiscriminate: It doesn’t know what the object is, just that it is an object with mass moving through space.
System: Cannot be used on its own and must be part of a system.
