Tracker Jammer

“	"So the jammer is a blaze rod? All that unbridled radioactive power throwing off the detection."	”

The Tracker Jammer was an instrument capable of blocking the ability of the Player Tracker to locate those who carried it.
It was designed by the Hegemon Retro during the Seventh Era in conjuction with the Tracker to give people a method of foiling hunters and remaining hidden. 
In order to function properly, it had to be carried on its user at all times. The Jammer emitted powerful radioactive energies that disrupted the Tracker's ability to pinpoint the user's location.
As more residents carried Jammers, it made those who did not more vulnerable because it reduced the amount of valid targets for the Tracker and therefore made it more likely they would be considered the nearest person. One shining example occurred on 7E:50 when the Scylfings were able to discover the secret location of Magna Centrum by tracking Tox, the only person there who was not carrying a Jammer.
The Tracker Jammer was sold in Tortuga for 500 tokens, intentionally priced considerably lower than the tracker to reduce the advantages it provided. Bagger was the first person to purchase a Jammer.
