The Jedi beacon transceiver was an encoded subspace receiver beacon carried by members of the Jedi Order, allowing them to receive signals and broadcasts from the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Beacon transceivers were small, portable devices with a display screen and communications transceiver. The transceiver picked up broadcasts from the Jedi beacon on Coruscant or from any Jedi's personal comlink. In emergencies, a Jedi would broadcast Emergency Code Nine Thirteen to any beacon transceiver in range, calling for immediate assistance. These devices also picked up recall and retreat signals from the Temple, commonly when HoloNet channels were compromised.
