But let’s say you have a cargo that’s so valuable you absolutely don’t want it captured. It is a cool concept for a move scene, I’ll grant you that. Alternately, the pods can be stripped out completely and used for hauling more conventional cargo (or walkers). For particularly valuable cargos, the vast majority of them would be decoys, so the attackers are faced with a shell-game on steroids, with even the valuable cargo split a dozen different ways between multiple pods. That adds an extra layer of security to the last resort: imagine the confusion for a bunch of pirates or Rebels when the Star Galleon’s cargo bay doors pop open and a couple hundred pods scatter in all directions. That way, rather than having to build the ship around a single large ejectable cargo bay, you can pack a more normal cargo bay with hundreds of self-propelled containers. Instead, have it be regular cargo bay loaded with droid-crewed self-propelled cargo pods that can be carried aboard any ship with enough landing deck space to fit a walker or light freighter.

Random thought: perhaps it’s still equipped with the anti-boarding defenses, but the ejectable cargo bay isn’t an integrated component. Then assign 3-4 to a multi-corps formation, so they can leap-frog their coverage, with 1-2 generators projecting the shield while the other 2 move forward along the line of advance, then switching off as needed.

With the limitation that it has to divert all drive power to the generator in order to keep up a shield, so it can either move or shield, but not both. Say, something along the lines of the Mobile Repulsor Base ( ), but almost entirely devoted to shield generation, propulsion and some defensive weaponry instead of a multi-purpose survey facility. More probably an area effect shield that can protect an entire fleet, or a mobile planetary shield projector that functions either from orbit, or has to land in order to divert all of its engine power to the shield.Īctually, that sounds like a useful idea for surface units, a mobile theater shield generator that can relocate to provide continuous shield protection against orbital bombardment.
