Deflector shield generator

"It is protected by an energy shield which is generated from the nearby forest moon of Endor. The shield must be deactivated if any attack is to be attempted."

- Admiral Ackbar, regarding the assault on the second Death Star

A deflector shield generator, or simply called a shield generator, was a device which was used to create a deflector shield, such as a ray shield. Deflector shield generators were used to create protective shields for starships, vehicles, and droids.

The Galactic Empire based one such shield generator on the forest moon of Endor. This shield provided protection for the Empire's powerful Death Star II superweapon and, so long as it was active, made the weapon invulnerable to the attacks of the Rebel Alliance forces.
