Black-hole Shield
this was the name used by the New Republic military to describe the unique, organic shielding systems used by the Yuuzhan Vong on their coralskippers. These shields acted like black holes, sucking in laser energy and absorbing it for use in other shipboard systems. Trast Kre'fey and Gavin Darklighter developed a tactic that used proton torpedoes to try and overload the black-hole shield system, causing it to consume more energy that it should, thereby diminishing their ability to protect the coralskipper.
