The biocomp is a handheld computer or computerized gauntlet designed to analyze biological life forms and data. It’s main use is as a reader of bioelectric signatures, unique to each individual, for security and identification purposes. Using a biocomp in this manner is a full-round action, requiring the target to be relatively still throughout the round, and requiring the user to make a Knowledge (Life Sciences) to correctly interpret the data. In order to confirm an identity, the biocomp must have access to a library of bio-electrical signatures to which it can compare the one being scanned.

Biocomp sensors are often added (using the integrated equipment gadget) to computers at checkpoints and doorways into secure facilities. In these cases, the computer stores a library of bioelectrical signatures, as well as software that allows it to run the Knowledge (Life Sciences) check.

In addition to the uses above, a biocomp sensor provides a +4 equipment bonus to any Knowledge (Life Sciences) check made to analyze or identify biological organisms and ecosystems.
