- Restricted Missions: Securitized Witch Brew - the crystals of the first batch are alchemized
- Primary Source: Lifeform scanner
- Manufacturer: Utai Magic Circle
- Model: Utai Force Detector
- Affiliation: Closed-Market
- Modularity: Yes: varying cable lengths
- Production: Semi-Unique
- Material: Alchemized kyber crystals, alchemized electronics
- Lightsaber resistance
- Four red alchemical kyber crystals
- Lightsaber-resistant crystals
- High resolutions can be achieved in detecting Force-users up to long-range turbolaser ranges
- Can also detect life forms
- Carrying a Utai Force Detector can make the mount vehicle easier to detect in the Force regardless of the size
- Its alchemical properties can be neutralized by someone using Force-nullifiers
- Cannot detect FUs near Force-nullifiers
- The resolution and precision of the Force-user detection part decreases for each antenna crystal that is disabled; with one disabled crystal, the effective sensory range falls off to standard turbolaser range, with two disabled crystals, the effective sensory range falls off to point-defense range, with three disabled crystals, the effective sensory tange falls off to ca. 100 meters around the remaining crystal
Due to the levels of threat Force-users pose, the Utai Force Detector is intended to allow NFUs in vehicles to detect Force-users. It is a device that relies on alchemized electronic equipment connected to four artificial kyber crystals made using wood as the base material for the alchemized red crystals connected with cables, called the antennae, which are not only lightsaber-resistant, but also treated in a way that they are sensitive to the auras of Force-energy within a certain range around the crystal. These crystals are roughly the size of red kyber crystals as used in lightsabers; as a result, the sensor. Using a technique known as trilateration, the crystals detect Force-energies with a different signature, as well as its precise location. For this reason, it is recommended not to place all four crystals in the same plane on a vehicle; in fact, the best configuration for the best resolution is to place the crystal in a pyramidal formation.
The crystals are then connected to cables, which will analyze in real time, using Fourier analysis to process the signals from the four antennae, in an alchemized electronics package that takes into account the strength of the Force-signals coming from the crystals. NFU operators have access to a special screen where they can see all the Force-user signatures on the screen within range of the mount vehicle and also inside it.
