Containment shield

A containment shield was a device with the ability block off access to an area and isolate it with a field. The device could be used on starships to cut off a room from the rest of the ship. By around 379 BBY, a containment field was installed on the ship known as the Gaze Electric and was used by Marda Ro—the ship's owner—to hold a beast known as the Great Leveler in the ship's medical observation room. Around that year, she deactivated the field to let the Leveler feed on a Jedi. Ro later recorded a message for her descendants in which she mentioned the containment shield. By 252 BBY, her great-great-grandson Marchion Ro had listened to the message mentioning the containment shield.
