ISD-72x deflector shield generator dome

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.
==Description==
The ISD-72x deflector shield generator dome was a model of deflector shield generator manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards. The Galactic Empire utilized the domes on their Imperial-class Star Destroyers, with a pair of the generators being positioned on the vessel's conning tower. Each dome was raised up, supported on stabilizer struts and fed by power feeds that connected to a power coupling in the base of the dome. The generator domes drew power directly from the Star Destroyer's reactorThe New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology via power relays located deep within the conning tower.
An armored shell covered the vital components, including the shield matrix and Shield Actuator. Spaced around the top of the dome were several deflector shield projector vanes that provided local protection to conning tower. The vanes projected both ray and particle shields and were spaced evenly around the dome's crest, one function per vane.
The domes also featured sensor banks feeding targeting data to the ship's gunnery stations, and hyperwave transceiver coils. The globes were vulnerable to suicide attacks from small starships or dedicated attacks from starfighters.
==History==
During the Clone Wars, the CIS used one of these shield generators at Saleucami.
