Hyper Drive
"Hyperdrive" is the miraculous technology which allows ships to enter the alternate dimension known as hyperspace and travel faster than the speed of light. Hyperdrive allows travel between the millions of settled worlds in the galaxy.

Traveling in hyperspace can be quite dangerous - objects in our universe, or "realspace", produce "mass shadows" in hyperspace. Any ship striking a mass shadow in hyperspace is instantly destroyed. Starships have navigational "nav computers" to calculate safe travel routes through hyperspace, taking the ship around stars, planets, stray asteroids, and other stellar hazards. Once a ship has entered hyperspace, it cannot change course.

Hyperdrives are rated by "classes"; the lower the class, the faster is the hyperdrive. Class Three and higher hyperdrives are common on civilian ships. Most military ships have class Two or Class One hyperdrives. some exceptional ships, suchg as the Millennium Falcon or Dash Rendar's Outrider have exceptionally fast Class 0.75 or Class 0.5 hyperdrives.

Light Sabers
The lightsaber is a product of an ancient, once-forgotten technology. It is an exquisite weapon, one that flows and moves as its master moves. The skillful wielding of its legendary blade was considered the true mark of a Jedi, right up until the reign of Emperor Palpatine and his Empire began - at which time the Jedi were hunted down and eliminated.

While the order of the Jedi is all but extinct, a few of their elegant weapons remain. One lightsaber, constructed by Anakin Skywalker, belonged to the last of the Jedi, Luke Skywalker. The saber was roughly 24-30 centimeters long and featured a handle body of polished durasteel. An inner shell contained the incredible energies generated within, without transmitting their heat to the device's outer surfaces.

Using what Luke Skywalker had learned from the detailed examinatino (and skilled use) of his father's saber, Luke Skywalker, like all Jedi before him, built his replacement lightsaber himself. This new, self-built unit shares those elements common to all sabers: It houses a power cell within its handgrip, crysallite lenses are faceted to perfection, a focusing core channels the intense energy of the cell into a coherent beam that bends circumferentially back upon itself to create a cutting "blade".

A lightsaber can be wielded properly only after years of extensive training and disciplined use. The Jedi can deflect blaster bolts and particle beams by the skilled use of their blades. Often the mere sight of the intensely-luminous blade and the unique, indescribable hum of that same blade slicing the air served to scatter most opposition.

Sublight Drives
Starships fly at slower-than-light speeds using "sublight drives". Sublight drives are used to propel a starship from a planetary surface into orbit, and from there into open space, where a ship can engage its hyperdrive. All starship battles take place at sublight speeds.

The most common sublight drive is the Hoersch-Kessel ion drive. This type of ion drive draws from power cells or generators to create a controlled fusion reaction. The reaction releases charged particles, which blast from the engines to provide thrust. Most ships rely on power cells, although the Hoersch-Kessel drive can be converted to use heavy metals, liquid rectants, or virtually any substance as fuel.

Repulsorlift Drives
"Repulsorlift drives" are the most common form of antigravity drive. Landspeeders, snowspeeders, sail barges, and cloud cars use repulsorlifts. Most starships also have repulsorlift drives for planetary landings and atmospheric flight.

Repulsorlifts use power supplied by a fusion generator to create an antigravity field which repels against a planet's gravity. The resulting field allows repulsorlift vehicles to hover and fly above a planet. Depending upon the drive, a vehicle's hovering altitude can range from a few centimeters about ground level to low orbit. The most powerful repulsorlift units can propel vehicles to speeds over 1.000 kilometers per hour, although many vehicles use ion afterburners to increase speeds. Repulsorlift drives do not work in space.

Laser and Blaster Cannons
These are the most common weapons; blaster cannons are less powerful laser cannons and are used on vehicles. Laser cannons fire coherent packs of intense light energy which cause physical damage. Nearly all starships use Lasercannons, but sapital starship use turbolasers.

Turbolasers
Turbolasers are much more powerful versions of laser cannons; they are used by capital ships. Turbolasers require multiperson crews and large generators for power, but they can cut through shields and armament of enemy capital ships with some single blasts.

Ion Cannons
Ion cannons are specialized versions of laser cannons. They penetrate shields, making them valuable weapons against heavily shielded vessels. Ion cannon blasts consist of high-energy ionized particlesw which disable electronic systems without causing physical damage. Ion cannons disable enemy ships so they can be captured intact.

Warheads
Proton torpedoes, concussion missiles, heavy rockets, spacebombs and advanced versions are weapons used by fighters, transports and capital ships. These weapons are physical weapons, rather than blasts of energy. They can be used aboard any vehicle or vessel.

The heavier the warhead, the more greater is the damage to the attacked vessel. Bombs and rockets are used against capital ships, torpedoes and missiles against fighters and transports, but this depends on each pilot's mind...

Beam Weapons
Tractor-beam projectors create powerful beams which can capture, stop, and reel in enemy ships. Since tractor beams are bulky, it is difficult to hit a ship with a tractor beam, but once a target ship is struck, escape is almost impossible.

With the use of the TIE Defender fighter smaller versions of tractor-beam projectors have been introduced by the empire. These new designs give the pilot the opportunity to hold his target in his fire. The greater the projector's energy ressources, the longer the enemy ships is being trapped.

Shields
There are two common types of shields: particle shields and ray/energy shields. Shield generators shroud starships and vehicles in fields of energy, absorbing energy blasts and physical attacks. Shields can absorb only a limited amount of energy before they burn out (if not energy will be transfered to the shieldsystem's generators), but they provide significant protection while they last. Shields are found on almost all starships except many TIE Fighter versions; vehicle shields are much weaker.

Particle shielding protects against physical objects, such as warheads and space debris. Particle shields must be turned off to allow a vessel to fire its own warheads or to launch or recieve other vehicles.

Ray/energy shielding protects only against laser, blaster, turbolaser and ion cannon attacks. Energy shields require significantly more power to maintain than particle shiedls and are normally raised only in combat.

NOTE: In Star Wars - ANH (movie) the Rebel Alliance's fighters used to have shields. But they seemed to be very weak - one single shot by the TIE Fighters destroyed the fighters. In the LucasArts games "X-Wing", "TIE Fighter" and "X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter" the fighter's shields are more powerful. This gives more "real" atmosphere to the games and the Star Wars universe. Be sure to download the TIE Fighter battle "The Aftermath of Yavin".


Holonet
The Holonet has been introduced during the time of the Old Republic. It allows the direct communication with a hologram in deep space, within battle, and whereever it is needed. A hyperspacematrix makes it possible to act in real time.
