Hand scanner

A hand scanner is a hand-held scanning device used by the Klingons in the 23rd century. Assault squads would be equipped with hand scanners to help them find their pray.

In 2254 the hand scanners of a squad led by Toth were effected by something causing pattern distortion, preventing them from tracking their target, Christopher Pike. This prompted their impatient commander, Kaaj, to instead use to squad's com signal as a weapons lock for orbital bombardment, costing the squad's lives, but failing to kill Pike.
