Shield trio

A shield trio was a starfighter combat tactic that was developed by the New Jedi Order during the Yuuzhan Vong War. The maneuver involved three starfighters that, while flying in close formation, would extend the radius of their deflector shields and inertial compensators to provide overlapping coverage of the three-ship formation that was further insulated against Yuuzhan Vong coralskippers attempting to siphon shields away using their dovin basals. This tactic also allowed for the fighter craft taking part to concentrate their fire on a single yorik-et, thereby overwhelming its void-based defenses and quickly dispatching it.
