LaserWeb Defense Station/Legends

The LaserWeb Defense Station was a security system used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

Characteristics
A central node was placed on a surface, surrounded by planetary objects embedded with additional nodes and laser emitters. When the system sensed a starship's movement, it was activated, covering an area with a laser grid and preventing the vessel's escape.

History
One such defense grid was placed in orbit of Iego early on in the Clone Wars. It prevented the inhabitants from leaving and spawned superstitious tales of the wrath of Dol - Iego's "phantom ruler".

Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, while on a mission to Iego, managed to overload and destroy the system, freeing up the citizens of Iego to travel to and from the planet as they pleased.
