Legend

this starship weapons system, developed by Imperial engineers in the decade after the death of Admiral Thrawn, was designed to assist a cloaked starship. At its most advanced design, a cloaking device hid a starship from outside view, but also left the starship blind as to its surroundings. Thus, if it was discovered while cloaked, a starship was unable to safely maneuver, let alone anticipate an attack. The Predictor was developed to assist in predicting the attack of incoming starfighters, interfacing with the weapons systems to fire autoamtically in a set pattern. Supreme Commander Pellaeon tested the initial version of the Predictor ten years after Thrawn's death, and found the system still lacking any true accuracy.
