	Lateral sensors are both active and passive. Among their many uses, they are employed extensively in combat situations to monitor enemy movement and activities. Their maximum active range is approximately one light-year; for every 0.25 light-year beyond maximum range, increase the Difficulty by -20. Their gain depends on the gain package taken (see table). The SU cost for the gain package adds to the base cost of the lateral sensors.		Lateral sensors are both active and passive.

 The accompanying table indicates the range, gain, strength, and SU cost for long-range sensor packages. Range includes '''Point Blank, Short, Medium''', and '''Long''' for high and low resolution use of the sensors (high resolution provides a better “picture” and more information). The base Difficulties to detect an object at those ranges are 97 / 92 / 58 / 17 ''(for the Mark series: 92 / 83 / 42 / 8)'', respectively, and are enhanced by the Strength Package. Many circumstances (interference, the size or quality of the target, and so forth) may modify this Difficulty. (If the rules give a standard Difficulty for performing a task with sensors, such as detecting a cloaked ship, use that Difficulty or the Difficulty for range, whichever is higher.) For every 0.25 light-year beyond Long range, increase the Difficulty to detect a target by -10%.

Beginning in [[2271]], significant advances in sensor technology, coupled with similar advances with navigational deflectors, offered dramatic leaps in effective capabilities and the nomenclature system was altered to reflect the changes.

	Standard ship sensors cannot detect about 15,000 substances and effects unless they’re calibrated for them. However, a ship can reduce this number by -1,000 substances for every 3 SUs (thus making its sensors better), or increase it +1,000 substances for every -2 SUs (thus making them worse). ''TOS''-era ships using the Mark series cannot detect about 23,000 substances and effects unless they’re calibrated for them. However, it can reduce this number by -1,000 substances for every +4 SUs (thus making its sensors better), or increase it +1,000 substances for every -2 SUs (thus making them worse).

	The accompanying table indicates the range, gain, strength, and SU cost for long-range sensor packages. Range includes '''Point Blank, Short, Medium''', and '''Long''' for high and low resolution use of the sensors (high resolution provides a better “picture” and more information). The base Difficulties to detect an object at those ranges are 97 / 92 / 58 / 17 ''(for the Mark series: 92 / 83 / 42 / 8)'', respectively, and are enhanced by the Strength Package. Many circumstances (interference, the size or quality of the target, and so forth) may modify this Difficulty. (If the rules give a standard Difficulty for performing a task with sensors, such as detecting a cloaked ship, use that Difficulty or the Difficulty for range, whichever is higher.) For every 0.25 light-year beyond Long range, increase the Difficulty to detect a target by -10%.
