SLD-26 planetary shield generator

"I'm afraid the deflector shield will be quite operational when your friends arrive."

- Emperor Palpatine

The SLD-26 planetary shield generator was a deflector shield generator manufactured by CoMar Combat Systems and capable of protecting a small moon or a large space station with a near impregnable energy shield for an indefinate period of time. It was the model used by the Galactic Empire to protect the construction of the Death Star II over the forest moon of Endor.

The generator featured a base with a self-contained power station underneath the focusing dish, with the power station's power core being both efficient and sustainable by necessity. A large, concentric dish enabled large objects in space to be shielded, while eight smaller shield projectors lined the dishes edges, helping deliver an energy shield to protect an object in space. A large 'spike' emerged from the center of the focusing dish, which was in reality a positioning emitter antenna designed to help align the shield.
