Jendu will attempt to scan the other ship.

Use Computer: [1d20+14]=2+14=16;    The droids auto-succeed with their aid another so that's +4 = 20. 

I believe we are around 18 squares away so that would be -5 on the check (every 10 squares is -5).  Final Total is 15.

DC 10 check result identifies the size of the Vehicle and determines whether is has Starship Shields active. 

A DC 15 check result reveals the exact make of the Starship (If the observer would recognize it- alien ships are simply identified as being of unknown manufacture) and the number of Weapon Systems it has (But not the exact type of Weapon Systems).

You have already identified it as an Imperial customs Frigate. They have 6 weapon systems, and their shields are definitely active. Not unusual, your shields are acticvve too.  Ships that have shields keep them active unless they are disabled.

[OoC why you never hear raise the shields  in star wars like you do in star trek]
