Mag-shielding, an ion shielding variant, could be implemented as a protective measure for delicate electronic components, safeguarding them against harm.
Mag-shielding existed in various levels of effectiveness, spanning from basic to military-grade, and it provided defense for electronics against powerful ion and electrical surges. The YVH-Series battle droid line incorporated typical Mag-shielding to withstand the effects of ion and electrical armaments like Gauss balls; certain units possessed sufficiently robust shielding to achieve near-immunity.
