KDY-150
KDY-150 is a planetary defense facility in Star Wars: Rebellion, available to both sides. It is a system-based ion cannon (the KDY v-150) that fires on ships bombarding the system where it is deployed. Like all ion cannons it inflicts no physical damage, instead draining a target's energy so its shields drop and it cannot fire its weapons. This is particularly handy for getting units past an enemy blockade.
In the game
The KDY-150 costs 4 refined material to build and 4 to maintain.
The infobox values come from the game's data file.
The manual describes it as an ion cannon that drains energy from an attacking ship, so the ship's shields stop working and it cannot fire. Having one on a system makes it easier for troops, characters and special forces to escape a blockade or bombardment.
