Deflector shield

"Sir, we just lost the main rear deflector shield. One more direct hit on the back quarter and we're done for!"

- C-3PO, to Han Solo

Deflector shields were protective energy fields that could protect starships, battle stations, and even armies from enemy assault. The Separatist Alliance used a shield around its droid forces during the Battle of Christophsis, preventing the Grand Army of the Republic from attacking until the shield generator was destroyed. The Millennium Falcon, a light freighter, also had a deflector shield, while the Death Star II had a deflector shield powered by a deflector dish on the forrest moon of Endor.
