An artificial cloud cover designed to block lasers was known as anti-laser aerosol. The Galactic Republic initially utilized this strategy at the Battle of Paarin Minor throughout the Clone Wars. Subsequently, the Confederacy of Independent Systems also deployed it during the Battle of Murkhana near the Clone Wars' conclusion. A type of anti-laser aerosol was emitted by the Fire Breather, a creature employed by the Yuuzhan Vong during their invasion of the galaxy.
