Ray shield

Canon Legends version → Linked from 170 articles

A ray shield, also known as an energy shield, or an energy barrier, was a specialized type of deflector shield used to absorb radiation and raw energy, as opposed to particle shields, which repelled solid objects. Employed in both the time of the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire, it functioned by deflecting or scattering energy beams. However, ray shields did not allow physical objects through them completely unscathed, imparting a deadly electric shock. As such they could be used in traps.
