Lateral control

"But we've still lost the lateral controls for the starboard deflector shield!"

- Leia Organa

Lateral controls were an essential component of the ray shields of starships such as the Millennium Falcon. The Falcon's lateral controls were lost when the freighter was attacked by TIE/ln starfighters while fleeing the Death Star I.
