'''Multi-scanners''' are [[Imperial]] short-ranged scanners, used to detect energy emissions through throughout a wide spectrum, such as heat, radiation and most forms of energy given off by vehicles and living troops. Scanners can take the form of separate hand-held devices, or they may be built into a helmet such as in the case of [[Terminator armour]]. Its main tactical use is to reveal otherwise hidden troops within a certain range and allow them to be fired on.
