==Description==
Deflector shield generators were produced in a variety of sizes, ranging from small personal projectors to large units used on [[Capital ship/Legends|capital ships]]. In some cases, the generator could project the shield a great distance and without need for line of sight, by using a focusing dish. Variants included planetary shield generators, such as the [[SLD-26 planetary shield generator/Legends|SLD-26 planetary shield generator]] used to protect the [[Death Star II/Legends|second Death Star]] in orbit over the [[Moon/Legends|moon]] of [[Endor/Legends|Endor]], and the [[DSS-02 shield generator/Legends|DSS-02 shield generator]] used to protect [[Echo Base/Legends|Echo Base]] during the [[Battle of Hoth/Legends|Battle of Hoth]]. The Gungans used handheld shield generators along with shield generators on the backs of their [[Fambaa/Legends|fambaas]]. The [[Imperial Army/Legends|Imperial Army]] used a force shield projector to protect their base on [[Borleias/Legends|Borleias]] around [[7 ABY/Legends|7 ABY]].

Shield generators were used on [[Podracer/Legends|Podracers]] as well, both custom and factory-built models. Typically low-output, these shield generators were installed within the cockpit and were meant to protect the [[Podracer (profession)/Legends|pilot]] from exhaust wash and debris kicked up by the engines. In most instances, the shields were useless in the event of a crash, though some racers invested in full-spectrum generators to protect themselves and their vehicle from destruction.<ref name="EV" />

"It is protected by an energy shield which is generated from the nearby Forest Moon of Endor. The shield must be deactivated if any attack is to be attempted."
―Admiral Gial Ackbar, regarding the assault on the second Death Star[2]

A deflector shield generator, or simply a shield generator, was any device used to create a deflector shield, including both particle and ray shielding.

Description

Deflector shield generators were produced in a variety of sizes, ranging from small personal projectors to large units used on capital ships. In some cases, the generator could project the shield a great distance and without need for line of sight, by using a focusing dish. Variants included planetary shield generators, such as the SLD-26 planetary shield generator used to protect the second Death Star in orbit over the moon of Endor, and the DSS-02 shield generator used to protect Echo Base during the Battle of Hoth. The Imperial Army used a force shield projector to protect their base on Borleias around 7 ABY.
