Identification technology is the items and processes which are used to identify and track people’s identities for their safety and public safety. They are common and required by most planets in the
Galactic Coalition and a similar system exists in the
Telvan Empire.
They may be used by the government and authorities to track criminals and missing persons. They are often used to carry proper identification at bars and other establishments that have an age requirement, as well as being used as passports when a person is traveling across borders.
The basic requirements that an ID may vary depending on the planet and government that it is issued under, but most require the person's full name, birth date, photo, physical descriptors, and any important information like any bans the person has and any important medical information.
ID Chips
ID chips carry a person’s data including medical info and bank info for easy access. In order to keep the information safe, a code is used to access it for paying and accessing most medical information. Some information like basic info, name, age, etc; and emergency health info, such as blood type or conditions, can be accessed without a code in case of emergencies.
These chips are normally implanted into a person’s dominant wrist but people may also put them on a ring or bracelet or some sort of worn charm. These chips are a bit more expensive to buy, especially in more isolated places like
Ocarro. These are extremely common on
Athea and in the wealthier systems of the Galactic Coalition.
ID Cards
ID cards or Identification cards that carry the person’s data. A person may have separate ones for medical care and bank info depending on the person. Some people may not even own a bank card if they live on a very isolated planet where cash is the most common currency. The majority of the time they are just used to prove the person’s identity and tell of any medical conditions.
Most people just carry the card around with them if they are traveling, normally in a wallet or lanyard. These are the most common form of identification and are sometimes the only kind used on isolated planets like Ocarro.
