Plasma-grid

A plasma-grid was a machine designed to cut through rock. In 3.5 ABY, during the Galactic Civil War,The New Essential Chronology dates the events of the Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire multimedia project, which includes the Shadows of the Empire Sourcebook, to 3.5 ABY, during the Galactic Civil War. Rebel Alliance engineers used plasma-grids to form a smooth construction surface in the rock of the moon Kile's mountainous foothills in order to build a temporary prefab base for the starfighter unit Rogue Squadron. The base continued to smell of burned rock from the plasma-grids during Rogue Squadron'sStar Wars: Shadows of the Empire novel brief time there, which included a quick mission to the nearby planet Gall.
