	Shields (Star Wars) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A shield (also known as deflector shield) in Star Wars in an invisible force of energy that is generated by shield generators.
		However, it is possible to penetrate the shield by attacking one spot with lots of energy at one time, which is shown multiple times in the Expanded Universe "X-wing" series of novels.
		Although the exhaust port was ray shielded, it was not particle shielded.

		Deflector shield - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki - A Wikia wiki
		Deflector shields were first developed during the early years of space exploration, designed to absorb heat and radiation encountered in space and within a planetary atmosphere.

	Star Wars vs Star Trek Technology: SW Shields
		Star Destroyers were able to survive half an hour of ship to ship battle with Mon Calamari battlecruisers in the Battle of Endor before they started to lose shielding.
		Among the characteristics of Imperial shields is the ability to easily withstand direct hits from thermonuclear weapons, as indicated by the fact that Ackbar's warship took direct hits from such weapons at the beginning of the Battle of Endor, from the Imperial fighters (before engaging the Imperial fleet).
		Planetary energy shields were used in TESB and ROTJ, but the Rebels' primitive Hoth energy shield was not at all similar to the sophisticated planetary energy shield in ROTJ which could prevent any and all ground attacks (unlike the Hoth shield), while simultaneously protecting the orbiting DS2.

	Star Wars vs Star Trek Technology: Shields
		Shields are a more complex subject than many people think, even after you suspend disbelief and stop asking whether they're possible to build.
		In the strange world of sci-fi debating and analysis, shields are one of the strangest subjects of all.
		Of course, it should come as no surprise that SW shields are far stronger, but they also have the benefit of being far more difficult to circumvent through trickery.

	Star Wars: The Arcade Game 5200 - Digital Press Online
		Perhaps that’s only in the mind of this Star Wars collector wanna-be, but I have thought that since I played the first Star Wars games on the 2600 and their arcade counterparts.
		The Star Wars games, as a whole, for the classic home systems are pretty good.
		Unlike the arcade game, where the enemies stick around and fly into the Death Star, the enemies just disappear when the Death Star comes on the screen and then the next level "loads", which, by the way is a rather long time.

	Shields (Star Wars: Splintered)
		There are ray shields, which defend against lasers, etc. Then there are ion shields, which protect against ionic energy.
		These shields proved to be most useful in the vacuum of space, where the lack of atmosphere allowed them to operate at full capacity.
		Shield generators produce the power needed to create and maintain deflector shields, then focus those shields around a given object, be it a ship, building, or even parts of an entire planet.

		Or the ship's shields were badly battered from spending many hours (possibly days) under the murderous bombardment of the Hoth asteroid field, so they were't confident in their ability to stop the speeding freighter.
		If the Death Star's shields had small "seams" then fighters could slip through, but the shields would still stop almost all of the incoming debris from Alderaan, except for the small amounts that just happened to hit the seams, and which would presumably not be significant enough to worry about.

		To solve the apparent discrepancy between Star Wars lasers and real lasers (for example, the fact that real lasers do not fire at sublight speeds and are not visible from the side), various explanations have been given.
		The book Star Wars Episode III Incredible Cross-Sections states that the Providence-class ship has a large number of proton torpedo cannons, which is another possibility as to the type of cannons that are seen in the movie.
		In Star Wars: TIE Fighter, there was also the Advanced Concussion Missile which was extremely deadly due to its speed, damage, and tracking abilities, making it difficult to dodge.

	GameSpy: Star Wars: Empire at War Review
		The good news and the bad news is that Star Wars: Empire at War is not a conventional real-time strategy game.
		It does a wonderful job of bending, breaking, and often reinventing the normal RTS rules to create as Star Wars a feel as you could possibly hope for, short of sitting in a theatre and being fourteen years old.
		But overall, it captures the point of Star Wars: the epic sweep of a galactic conflict with a few notable personalities in the forefront.

	Optional Rule: Power Control (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Although the Star Wars films refer to power switching and rerouting available power, the Star Wars RPG has downplayed this mechanic in order to maintain simplicity.
		The power conroller might have routed poewr from the left arc shields or weapons, but that would have meant that the left arc would be with little or no defenses to fend off suprises from that side of the ship.
		Starfighters with shields do this on occasion, switching shield power to a particular side the pilot expects to come under heavy fire.
