Chapter 4 - Power Vacuum

Inspecting the device Kip determines that it contains two antennas, one for transmitting, and one for receiving. The three buttons appear to be for power and two amplification settings. By itself, the device is useless, as the port on the bottom is used to control transmission and reception frequencies within a very narrow range.

Based on the length of the antenna and some of the other internal electronics Kip concludes that this in not a communication device but more like radar equipment.

Approaching the area of town where the Wired Wookie is located the first thing you notice is the Imperial presence as squads of Stormtroopers patrol the area. They don't appear to be on high alert, but they do occasionally stop the random citizen to ask for identification before letting them get on with their business.

In front of the closed tavern stand two FSF officers in full gear, along with two Stormtroopers, all four of which are guarding the entrance. Behind you, a short distance away, you can hear three people arguing with a few of the troopers, stating how they need to get to the Wired Wookie to "drop a package off for the boss".
