"SCALEMAIL" SHIELD GENERATOR



   The shield generator (4D) of the YV-929 Armed freighter is exceptionally powerful for a starfighter scale transport, and also rare for this.  Likely a result of the rising tensions of the Rise of the Empire era, the open warfare of the Galactic Civil War, and the newly found freedom after the fall of the Empire and the rise of the New Republic, as well as the many conflicts that arose during this time.

   If players wish to acquire one separately, it would cost around 50,000 credits (probably more on the black market), and requires 25 tons of cargo space to install, due to fitting such powerful technology in such a tight package as a small starfighter scale freighter.  Galaxy Guide 6 Tramp Freighters Shields used as a reference to figure this out, but also figuring in that these are pushing the boundaries between civilian and military grade hardware.  Since these powerful shield generators are a defensive system, and with the Empire and other constant threats on the horizon for the New Republic during this era, these shields generators were allowed to be sold by Corellian Engineering Corporation, though it was rare to see them installed on anything beyond a YV-929 due to being designed for this model of starship.
