A Handheld Personal Information-Gathering and Navigation Unit, HPIGNU or Pig for short, is a terran-designed scanning device.[1][2] It is a small rectangular device with a screen and keypad,[1] and has been in use since at least the Guild Wars.[2]
Functions[edit | edit source]
- Atmospheric Sampling: Can discern whether surrounding air is breathable, and check it for dangerous compounds and airborne microorganisms.[3]
- Identification: Can discern a person's identity, used by the Confederacy during the Guild Wars for this purpose.[2] It cannot, however, detect cloaked protoss.[1]
- Organism Detection: Can detect organisms such as leeches and zerg.[1]
- Sanitation: Can tell if water is safe.[1]
- Terrain Detection: Able to detect the terrain at a long distance and show the best routes to a destination.[1]
