"CHAINMAIL" SHIELD GENERATOR
This ship's shield generator (5D) is powerful for the kind usually installed in starfighter scale freighters, even after modification. Based on the technology used in the YZ-775 Medium transport that came before it, the Chainmail shield generator was an attempt to keep the C.E.C. plan going to produce transports that could easily be converted into combat ships for organizations like the Rebel Alliance in their fight against the Galactic Empire. While the stock YZ-900s did not have these installed as a standard due to Imperial scrutiny after the production of the YZ-775 Medium Transports, several "Chainmail" shield generators were designed and constructed and distributed to various sources before the ISB began snooping around C.E.C. holdings.
If players wish to acquire one of these powerful shield generators for their own ship, it will cost around 65,000 credits and require 30 metric tons to install. Based on the shield generator developed for the YZ-775 Medium Transport, this was a product of the time, pushing shield technology for space transports further than standard technologies allowed during the Rise of the Empire era, and combined with their rarity, this is why they are so expensive, and so large, and also why not many ship owners ever get their hands on one, let alone use them. They simply may not have the funds or the room to do so.
