The ISD-72x deflector shield generator/sensor dome was a local-area deflector shield generator and sensor array produced by Kuat Drive Yards and commonly installed on Imperial Star Destroyers.

[edit] Characteristics

Imperial I-class and Imperial II-class Star Destroyers each carried two ISD-72x generators/sensor arrays. However, only Imperial II-class had their projector-vanes positioned in a ring-like formation atop the command tower's sensor globes.

This auxiliary deflector shield required a massive amount of energy, drawn from the Star Destroyer's main reactor via power generators located deep within the command tower. It projected both ray and particle shields.

[edit] History

It was developed to reduce the need for secondary equipment aboard Star Destroyers, and replaced the Om-Thaim shield generators installed on earlier Destroyer models.

A larger version of the ISD-72x was developed for use aboard Executor-class Star Dreadnoughts and other Super Star Destroyers.
