You can tell that Daar is a good businessman, and likes to keep his customers happy - expecting them to return the same to him.
Below the merchandise you see a note that reads:

Seekers are specialized hunting remotes that track and capture or kill their targets. The Arakyd Mark VII is a remote that uses a small repulsorlift generator that can produce a top speed of forty kilometers per hour. The seeker is a droid that has a very high level of artificial intelligence and cunning, and this is shown when the droid hovers just out of sight of its target while it waits to strike.
The Mark VII is built with the Arakyd BXT-4 central processing computer and an AA-1 Verbobrain that is capable of understanding fifty thousand languages. The vocoder on the seeker is capable of replicating organic languages and is able to transmit high-density electronic languages used by droids.
The seeker is equipped with a data probe that can interface with computers, security monitors, and communications networks. The seeker can also be programmed to perform emergency overrides to compel droids to reveal information or use data probes to review and download memory banks and files.
The sensor suite on the Mark VII is incredibly sophisticated, and is equipped with four visual sensors that provide a full 360-degree view, and the electrobinoculars can focus on a target two hundred meters away. The seekers directional audio sensors can record any conversation within one hundred 
meters, and the frequency ranges of the audio pickups go way above and below the ranges that a human can hear. The seeker is also equipped with heat sensors that have infrared scopes capable of locating footprints and other heat signatures or sources, while the unit's genetic sampler can analyze hair, blood, and skin and compare it to the genetic records it stores in its memory banks.
The Mark VII is also built with an internal transceiver that can monitor all comlink frequencies. In addition to it sophisticated sensors and brain, the Mark VII carries a pair of blasters that have an optimal range of twenty-five meters and a maximum range of fifty meters, with standard energy output that matches that of a regular blaster rifle. These blasters can be set to either stun or to kill, and the units power cells store enough energy for one hundred shots.
When the New Republic took over the government, they banned all lethal seekers, and the only seekers allowed are ones like the police use: restricted units that only have stun blasters.
Your eyes instantly light up when you notice that Daar has a variety of jetpacks available as well. Word is, that Bounty Hunter, Boba Fett, has always fared well with one of these. You take a closer look.
When activated, the Mitrirnomon Z-6 Jetpack's intake system forces a mixture of air and fuel into miniaturized turbines. There the mixture is ignited, and each three-second ignition provides enough thrust to propel the user up to one hundred meters horizontally or seventy meters vertically. Directional exhaust nozzles are used for mid-flight course adjustments while the pack's gyro-stabilizer automatically applies counterthrust for safe landings.
These models weigh about thirty kilograms, carry enough fuel for twenty bursts, and cost you plenty. A jetpack can lift the user and up to a hundred kilograms of additional cargo. The jet pack's control panel can be mounted on one’s forearm, and a secondary verbal interface system has been run through a helmet's control computer. Unfortunately, jet packs can misfire if struck
Jetpacks tend to be lighter and less bulky than rocket packs because they draw in oxygen from a planet's atmosphere for combustion. However, they are useless underwater, in a vacuum, and in low-oxygen atmospheres. Alternatively, rocket packs use premixed fuels that require no additional oxygen and can work in any environment, including the vacuum of space. Despite their additional bulk, rocket packs offer performance comparable to that of jet packs, although they are more expensive.
Repulsorlift packs are used rarely since their miniaturized repulsorlift generators offer slow movement, although they are incredibly maneuverable and the user can apply steady thrust to hover in place. Like all repulsorlift generators, repulsor packs operate by propelling the wearer away from any object with a sustainable gravity field. Thus, they do not work in zero-gravity environments. Repulsor packs use rechargeable energy cells, each offering about ten minutes of flight time and top speeds of around forty kilometers per hour.
Some rocket and jet packs incorporate a secondary repulsorlift unit that offers stability, greater maneuverability, and hovering capability. These combination packs normally cost around a few thousand credits and tend to be much heavier, but users indicate that the added versatility counters any disadvantages.
The ability to prevent an enemy from attaining intelligence is a significant factor in achieving victory, and sensor jammers help accomplish this by producing broad-spectrum bursts that block sensor readings. Short-range jammers are designed to throw off concussion missiles and proton torpedoes.
The Miradyne 4x-Phantom Short-Range Sensor Jammer is a dedicated-energy receptor (DER) projector that absorbs and blocks long-range sensor pulses, helping to hide the fighter as it closes in on its target. Once the fighter engages the enemy, the M4xP uses its full-spectrum distortion projector to project broadband emissions to block all scanners and targeting computers. Miradyne's 4x-Phantom is also equipped with a row of static discharge panels that scramble comm and subspace frequencies.
Standard security items almost always include scanners and observation cameras. These cameras range from simple visual scanners such as the Merr-Sonn Munitions 17C to advanced holographic recorders such as the military issue Merr-Sonn Munitions 57C Holocamera. The less expensive two-dimensional video scanners are the most common cameras throughout the galaxy and are used in places ranging from retail shops to private residences. The more expensive and advanced holographic units are usually found in high-security applications and supplements for guards in star ports, detention blocks, and other facilities that are likely to be targeted for armed attacks, sabotage, or terrorism.
All but the cheapest scanners record images and sound, storing them on standard data disks and tapes. Most of the units have motion-sensor tracking programs that allow them to automatically follow the movements of individuals within the scanner's range. These security cameras are programmed to feed all of their visual data to a specified recording station and can be programmed to have automated functions to alert owners.
Working at a military installation? Scanners often provide targeting data for automated blasters or laser traps. Ask about our deals.
Most security scanners are equipped with special magnification lenses or infrared and ultraviolet spectrum optics, which makes them useful for nighttime observation. We also carry long-range scanners on the market that can record the activities of individuals, dozens of kilometers away These can also be equipped with audio sensors which use precisely focused unidirectional pickups which can record distant conversations.
Vibro-axes vary widely in quality and power output, although all of them have the same basic function: A power cell supplies energy to an ultrasonic vibration generator, which propels the cutting edge through thousands of microscopic vibrations per second. The result is a hand weapon that is significantly more dangerous than its unpowered counterparts.
This weapon has a hollow durasteel shaft with internal dampeners that absorb vibrations from the ax blade. The high-powered ax head can slice through armor plating as if it were rotting cloth, while the quick-release switch allows the user to replace a damaged ax blade in seconds. Six power cells permit up to eight hours of continuous use, while the intensity switch gives the wielder the ability to determine precisely how much damage the blade will cause. These weapons are sturdy enough to take rough handling, with superior weight distribution to make them easy to handle in combat.
