Barrier override

The Barrier override was a lever in the Supervisor's Tower on the planet At Attin that completely deactivated the Barrier defense surrounding the planet.

Around 9 ABY, while looking for a way to get his frigate through the Barrier, the pirate Jod Na Nawood found a button labeled "Barrier override" in the Supervisor's Tower. After pressing the button, the override level rose up from the floor. Undersecretary Fara warned Na Nawood that it would destroy the Barrier and offered to grant his ship access instead. Later, the younglings Fern and Wim tried to pull the override lever to allow New Republic forces past the Barrier to repel the pirates, but were prevented from doing so. After Wim's father, Wendle, punched Na Nawood, he, too, tried to pull the lever, but Na Nawood held him back using the Force. Ultimately, Fara helped Wendle pull the lever and the Barrier deactivated in a flare of light.
