Babylon 5 Ghost Scan Emitter

Ghost Scan Emitter
Cost: 3,000 credits per emitter
Description: The bane of smugglers, arms dealers and other contraband laden vessels are the active scans of trade marshals and other authorities. One quick pervasive sweep could reveal weapon power cores, hidden slaves or worse. These discreet ECM variant attachments actually broadcast subtle signals for scanners to pick up; signals that broadcast the ship’s cargo as other than it actually is. In short, ghost scan emitters (GSEs) can be a smuggler’s best friend.

A ship can contain a maximum of one ghost scan emitter for every ten metric tons of cargo. For each ghost scan emitter installed, increase the ship’s effective Stealth score against Active Scan orders that target the ship by +1. Note that this increase to Stealth only applies against Active Scans. If the scanning ship’s Sensors check fails by 3 or more, it detects precisely what the ghost scan emitters are broadcasting.
