Anrew Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 After reading the Thrawn Trilogy and enjoying it as I did I am disappointed in this FP's story. A stealthed space station with stealth ships fighting... Yes I understand that the ships are probably piloted by force users, but this still brings me to http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Cloaking_device Cloaked ship tech was apparently unheard of until Palp's empire. Although they do mention a couple up to 32 years BBY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaskava Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 "Cloaking devices were once fairly common, based on stygium crystals mined on the planet Aeten II in the Dreighton Nebula. However, as the crystal supply dwindled, cloaking devices followed suit, until there were none left at all." There's your answer. Also, remember, Malgus' stolen fleet was made using Adegan crystals. Mined from Ilum, and most commonly used in lightsaber construction. Not exactly a handy supply of materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recon_Grim Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Agent act 1 spoilers- You use a cloaking device for your ship to sneak onto Jadus's dreadnought. Granted, it does deactivate once you're inside, but it existed nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anrew Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 About 3000. In which case I site http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Aeten_II So even the earliest cloaking devices were 1000 years bby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LX_Theo Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 In which case I site http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Aeten_II So even the earliest cloaking devices were 1000 years bby Doesn't mean there couldn't have been another crystal supply at a time (like say Ilum possibly) that could to make them.
