Molecular shielding

Molecular shielding was a special type of Deflector shield. This advanced technology was developed in 10 ABY. The first, and thus far only, war machine known to incorporate it was the Viper X-1 Automadon.

Molecular shielding differed from conventional shielding in that it did not merely deflect or neutralize energy weapons, but absorbed their energy and converted it, using it to power the war machine's own weapons. It was invulnerable to all short-range energy weapons, including artillery-grade guns.
