Force Track

[Marcus Starkiller]

The Force surrounds and binds all living things, and as they shift their placement in the Galaxy, so shift the subtle currents in the Force. Darth Sidious once described the Force as a mist, constantly surrounding and penetrating all living things, and visible to only those with a special kind of sense; using this analogy, when a being moves through the mist, it stirs up clouds and leaves a trail. Force users can tap into this special view and use it to follow the movements of a target. By shifting her senses to a certain kind of Force attunement, a Force-user can see the path left by her target, effectively using that being's presence in the Force as a means of pathfinding or tracking. When using this power, the target's path is illuminated by a bright white glow (for Light Side Force users) or an inky black trail (for Dark Side Force users). This power does not, however, work with droids or beings which have no presence in the Force, such as the Yuuzhan Vong.
