CN-15 camouflage netting

Legends Linked from 16 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Fabritech's CN-15 camouflage netting was formed of netting made up of metallic jamming fibers which produced a reflective ability that avoided detection from standard sensor sweeps. Late in the Galactic Civil War, the Empire banned its production due to the netting's usefulness to the Rebels. It needed to be connected to a small power source for maximum effectiveness. The net was covered in overlapping sensor baffle scales that emulated the emissions of the surrounding terrain. It came in a small backpack and was deployable by two people in under a minute. Fully expanded, it would cover a 15 square meter area. It was once tested underwater by the mercenary Gunman, and worked just as effectively, so long as the power cell lasted.
