Merilang-1221
The Merilang-1221 was a full-spectrum numerical analyzer that was created to process inbound transmissions for numerical encryption.[2] During the crisis caused by the discovery of the Caamas Document[1] in 19 ABY,[4] which implicated members of the Bothan species in the destruction of the planet Caamas, New Republic Crypt Chief Zakarisz Ghent volunteered to accompany Imperial General Hestiv to the Ubiqtorate station orbiting the planet Yaga Minor to attempt to recover an original copy of the document. Ghent was provided with a room and equipment to aid him in his work, including a Merilang-1221.[1]
