The ISD-72x deflector shield generator/sensor dome, a product of Kuat Drive Yards, served as both a localized deflector shield generator and a sensor array. These were frequently found on Imperial Star Destroyers.
Kuat Drive Yards produced the ISD-72x deflector shield generator dome, a type of deflector shield generator. The Galactic Empire made use of these domes on their Imperial-class Star Destroyers, typically mounting two of them on the ship's conning tower. Each dome was elevated, supported by stabilizing struts, and received power through feeds connected to a power coupling at its base. These generator domes obtained their power directly from the Star Destroyer's reactor by way of power relays situated deep within the conning tower.
A armored shell protected the essential components, including the shield matrix and Shield Actuator. Deflector shield projector vanes, which provided localized protection for the conning tower, were positioned around the dome's top. These vanes, evenly spaced around the dome's crest, projected both ray and particle shields, with each vane dedicated to a specific shield type.
Furthermore, the domes incorporated sensor arrays that transmitted targeting information to the ship's gunnery stations, as well as hyperwave transceiver coils. These globes were susceptible to kamikaze attacks from smaller starships or focused assaults by starfighters.
During the era of the Clone Wars, the CIS employed one of these shield generators on Saleucami.
