Scanner

A scanner is a device used primarily on starships to scan star systems and planets to and to detect any valuables on said planets. Certain scanners can also be used to find minerals, and almost all can detect other starships. Scanners are equipped with screens that are used to display this information. From a scanner, one could see information on the star system the scanner's ship or station was currently in, said ship or station's equipment, and any datastick messages contained in the ship or station's computer.
