Sensor globe

A sensor globe allowed shipboard sensor systems to operate. A sensor dish could perform the same tasks, although it had a different exterior appearance.
==Characteristics==
Sensor globes used on top of Star Destroyers and Super Star Destroyers contained hyperwave transceiver coils and long-range scanners, part of the com-scan system of the ship. The scanners could feed targeting information to the ship's weapons systems, which made them viable targets once the main shields went down in a battle.
The sensor globes also contained projector vanes for an auxiliary shielding system that had a local-area effect only. The vanes were positioned in a crown-like formation around the sensor globes, forming the ISD-72x deflector shield generator dome system.
