A '''scomp link''', '''computer interface arm''', or '''computer-coupler'''<ref name="DM">{{Journal|10|Desperate Measures}}</ref> was an [[Astromech droid/Legends|astromech droid]] accessory that allowed the [[Droid/Legends|droid]] to plug into [[Computer/Legends|computers]], via a [[computer terminal]], and other equipment. It consisted of an extensible arm with a rotating tip. Other names included '''standard access adapter''', '''computer input port''', and '''computer interface socket'''.<ref name="GFT">''[[Galladinium's Fantastic Technology]]''</ref>

[[Code cylinder/Legends|Code cylinders]] also contained a scomp link that allowed them to interface with security systems and [[Computer/Legends|computers]].

[[R2-D2/Legends|R2-D2]] used this tool to save his masters many times. He saved [[Padmé Amidala/Legends|Padmé Amidala]] on [[Geonosis/Legends|Geonosis]] by deactivating a piece of [[Geonosis droid foundries|assembly line]] machinery that would have otherwise killed the [[Senator/Legends|senator]]. R2 also used his scomp link to control the [[Turbolift/Legends|turbolift]] [[Anakin Skywalker/Legends|Anakin Skywalker]] and [[Obi-Wan Kenobi/Legends|Obi-Wan Kenobi]] occupied on the [[Invisible Hand/Legends|''Invisible Hand'']]. Later, he used it to stop [[Garbage Compactor 3263827]] from crushing [[Luke Skywalker/Legends|Luke Skywalker]], [[Han Solo/Legends|Han Solo]], [[Chewbacca/Legends|Chewbacca]], and [[Leia Organa Solo|Leia Organa]] on the [[DS-1 Orbital Battle Station/Legends|Death Star]]. He also used it to open the door to the bay where the [[Millennium Falcon/Legends|''Millennium Falcon'']] was located during the escape from [[Cloud City/Legends|Cloud City]], and learned that the [[Hyperdrive/Legends|hyperdrive]] on the [[Starship/Legends|ship]] had been deactivated. R2 also tried to help using the scomp link during the [[Battle of Endor/Legends|Battle of Endor]] at the [[Endor shield generator bunker]], but before he could slice into the door controls and override the security codes for the lock, a [[Stormtrooper/Legends|stormtrooper]] saw what he was trying to do and fired a single shot that hit R2 and sent him reeling back from the scomp link terminal, causing R2 to suffer a short-circuit as his various devices popped out as a result of the power surge, forcing Han to try to manually override it.

Scomp links could also seemingly be used to transmit data from one device to another. While pursuing [[Rivo Xarran]], [[Boba Fett/Legends|Boba Fett]] had the scope on his blaster rifle scomp-linked to his visor, so he could aim while in a position that would otherwise preclude precision shots.
