    "I didn't need to be at the console to hack it [control module]. I just needed to be near it. Oh, of course, I also needed enough time for the remote hack to work. Which, I think you've given me enough just... about ... now."
    ―Sinjir Rath Velus demonstrating the power of a hyperwave transceiver[1]

    Hyperwave transceivers or hyper-transcievers were secure transmitting devices used to transmit hyperwave signals. During the liberation of Kashyyyk[1] in 5 ABY,[2] Sinjir Rath Velus used a hyperwave transceiver spike hidden in the heel of his boot to transmit signals which disrupted the control module which controlled the inhibitor chips that kept the Wookiee slaves on the planet docile. This sparked a planet-wide Wookiee uprising against Imperial rule.[1] Princess Leia Organa and her team used these devices during Operation Yellow Moon.[3]
