Tech? Ion Cloud Dispersion?

[Xer'ir]

I was hoping for a device or tech that could expel ionic particles or ion clouds, which would hide the ship from scanners. Or, doesn't have to be ions, just make clouds that hide it from scans. I have plans.

Sensors in star wars come in all shapes and sizes, from gravitic sensors (which detect complicated information caused by the mass of your ship) to electromagnetic sensors (most common), so shooting a cloud of ionized particles or an ion cloud probably isn't going to defeat them all, or even the majority of them. At least not on the scale of something smaller than the ship that is causing it.

Seeing as how we have ion afterburners which literally combust ionized particles for added thrust, and consequently drop ionized particles like a trail of crumbs, I don't see why you couldn't create a piece of technology that expels or creates a large cloud of ionized particles which could cause interference in sensors of certain types. Just be aware that stealth technology generally requires development.

Sorry about that, thank you very much!

Short answer, yes you can but it's going to be rather obvious that there's something there making that cloud.

Yeah, it's for show off effects, like Independence Day

Yeah, I figured. It also looked pretty cool in Chronicles of Riddick when the Necros did it.
