 i never thought agout the it having shields untill now, but it seems to fit.
 When they were shooting at it it looked like the blaster bolts were being

 No matter how thick it was it would atleast leave burn marks or holes in
 it, even if it didn't break through.

 I didn't see them shooting the viewport, but i do remeber that when i shows

 stop, like they hit a shield, right in front or the comanders eyes. It
 looked like shields were at work there since the bolt never really hit
