The Shieldship was a starship designed to protect ships while traveling to the planet Nkllon in the Athega system from Athega's superhot star. It was so hot that the dark side of Nkllon was the only habitable half of the planet though it was rich in mineral resources.

| abstract
| - The Shieldships resembled giant umbrellas and were designed to repel the dangerous heat rays of the system's star. They had large tubes and fins designed to vent the heat generated by the star. However, the cooling gear onboard a Shieldship needed to be replaced after every visit to Nkllon. Any ship that traveled to and from Nkllon had to trail behind a Shieldship for protection from the star's rays or its systems and hull plating would be melted by the star. The Shieldship had an advanced slave circuit system for taking control of the ships behind it, making a quick 1 hour hyperspace jump to Nkllon. Without a slaving system, then the trip to Nkllon would have to be made at sublight speeds which would take up to 10 hours.
- The Shieldship was a starship designed to protect ships while traveling to the planet Nkllon in the Athega system from Athega's superhot star. It was so hot that the dark side of Nkllon was the only habitable half of the planet though it was rich in mineral resources.
- One of the most visually distinct ships in the galaxy, the Shieldship was the brainchild of New Republic war hero Lando Calrissian and built with the cooperation of the Republic Engineering Corporation. Since the ships were originally meant to repel the dangerous rays of the Athega system’s superhot sun, they have few applications outside of their original purpose, but REC keeps the design in circulation since no other ship in the galaxy can do what the Shieldship does. The Shieldships resemble giant umbrellas and work in much of the same fashion. They have large tubes and fins designed to vent the heat generated by the proximity and exposure to a sun. Depending on the heat given off by a particular sun, or the closeness of the Shieldship to it, the cooling gear onboard may need to be replaced after every trip. The Shieldship has an advanced slave circuit system for taking control of the ships behind it, making for quick trips into and out of a system. Without the slaving system, the Shieldship is forced to travel at sublight speeds, making for much slower times. Unlike many capital ships of its size, however, the Shieldship is quite fast, clocking in at an unheard of 60 MGLT. This is possible because the ship has very little superstructure in comparison to conventional ships of similar scale. The Shieldship boasts strong armor and powerful shields thanks to its primary role of safeguarding ships from superhot suns. For protection it has only a single turbolaser, but that is usually more than enough since few ships would be able to follow it into the places it goes.
