SPECIAL FEATURES
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Designed using information about the old Seperatist defensive screen on Iego. Drol was something the locals called it but once it was disabled it was mostly salvage. The idea though of a laser net that would keep going until it caught and stopped an enemy target was causing a problem. Getting through it is meant to be next to impossible, it could be navigated but by skilled pilots with a keen awareness as the random directions fo the lasers can quickly ensnare a pilot. The means for this with a smaller version was through reflective crystals that were used by older agents, hardened to not explode after use and able to send a laser out in random directions including off of the ship and back onto the hull. The crystals are helpful in many ways that they can do and are kept off the hull of the ship and are the size of a volleyball making targeting not impossible but hard. (pinpoint targeting at high speeds while dodging) just enough so a fighier flying at them can be ensnared when it gets close. The towers can extend off of the ship to provide more height and work to box everything in. As an anti star fighter screen that can be used it is strong but it is just that anti starfighter and usually boarding craft or transports that are incoming. Automated droid brains within the system for the ship allow it to activate when an enemy ship is within proximity. While the ship itself has the screen activated it can move, generally slower as that makes need of the screen. Faster and smaller ships will generally work to outrun instead of slowly moving.

SPECIAL FEATURES
Strengths:
- Random Directioon: The laser net is random, moving from crystal to crystal and making a netting that can come from nearly any direction. THis makes it harder to dodge as the more it is activated the more lines will be created and able to slice through ships and warhead/missiles
- Proportional Strength: The lasers and redirection crystals are made to be used in degrees. The strength of the laser net is proportional to the power put into it either a single beam that scatters and lessens as it goes or high powered that makes the net into something very dangerous. The more power fed the less power that can go into shields/additional weapons (turbolasers) or engines
Note: The cutting power of the laser is proportional to the power being put into it. Cutting through starfighters can take a lot more power from other systems then deterring them from getting close
Weaknesses:
- Randomized: One of the benefits is also a problem, with random directions the laser can go off in a direction that doesn't touch another crystal making the beam mostly useless (flying into it is still flying into a laser) but it will break its chain
- Small scale: Mostly ineffective against capital ships and larger ships
- Wear and Tear: While the crystal are made to not be one time use like their predecessors they are not able to last forever and will break down after several uses (on par with a lightbulb burning out)
- Splash Damage: THe lasers can cut through fighters and missiles/warheads but there is still the matter of what there is. Explosives and debris cannot be cut by the lasers much more and will go into the hull of the ship
- Trade in: To keep the continuous beam of the screen the anti fighter lasers are replaced to make use of them. Swapping them within the subs itself
