Shield door

"Your Highness, there's nothing more we can do tonight. The shield doors must be closed."

―Major Bren Derlin

Shield doors were employed at Echo Base to seal the interior of the Alliance to Restore the Republic base from Hoth's sub-zero temperatures. Shield doors were used widely throughout the galaxy. Created by the inventors of the Hush-98 comlink, this technology was reliable, and took up very little amounts of energy to run, making it very efficient.

The Shield Doors used a thermal-capturing technology that allowed heat to be built up and distributed throughout Echo Base.
