Mechanic Tricks

You learn your first mechanic trick at 2nd level and an additional trick every 2 levels thereafter. Mechanic tricks all require you to meet a minimum mechanic level, and they are organized accordingly. Some mechanic tricks require you to satisfy other prerequisites, such as having other tricks.

Speed Scan (Ex)

Source Starfinder Enhanced pg. 48
Level Required 8
As a standard action, you can get a general sense of what information is stored on drives or other technological storage media. You must be within range of the device to use your remote hack ability, but you don’t have to touch it or connect to it. The information you get is very general, such as “financial records,” “military records,” or “spells.” Getting detailed information requires interfacing with the data more directly. If you attempt a speed scan on a creature that stores its memories in a digital medium—to get a sense of the memories stored in a robot, for example—the target can attempt a Will save to negate the scan. You can attempt this multiple times per day, but can use it against a given target only once per 24 hours.
