- "The scomp link is busted, but this should get you moving for now."
- ―Cal Kestis, repairing his droid, BD-1
A scomp link,[6] also known as a data probe,[7] was an accessory that allowed an astromech droid[8] or BD unit[6] to plug into a computer via a socket.[9] Also, Imperial droids such as the KX-series security droid had one.[3] It consisted of an extendable arm with a rotating tip.[8] The clone trooper CT-1409 "Echo" had his right arm replaced with a scomp link by the Techno Union after sustaining heavy injuries from experimentation.[1] The Kaminoan-affiliated AZ-series surgical assistant droids also possessed scomp links, embedded into their collapsible arms.[10] Scomp links could also be used manually as an independent tool; Ezra Bridger utilized an old R-series scomp link as a lockpick in order to manually gain access to doors, though this process could take time and skill depending on the door's security.[11] The R2 series astromech droid R2-D2 was equipped with one.[7]
