- So in KOTOR 1 they had interdictors. Yet in Outbound Flight, Thrawn, Car'das and Maris were shocked to discover the Vagaari had invented interdictors. How will they they retcon this one? - Skywalka 07:39, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
Car'das and Maris were stupid that day. ;) — Aiddat (Holonet) (Contribs Log) 02:05, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
- Or the Republic lost the ability to build them. The SWDB mentions that the ones used by the Leviathan (which was modified by the Star Forge with superior technology) were ineffective by modern standards and that the Empire had to reinvent the tech. Considering that we see only one Interdictor in the last years of the Old Republic (one used by the Toom pirates around the Battle of Naboo time, being described as a very powerful ship by Darth Maul) and we have Maris mention that they talked about it in tech school - “but it's always required too much energy and too big a generator configuration to be practical”, they really don’t seem that common any more. Maris just says that they just can’t build practically useable ones, something the Vagaari managed to do and as it seems the Tooms, though we know that they need a powerful ship to mount it. The next Interdictor we see is used by the Empire in the siege of the Wookiee home world and seems to be a relatively new design. We also know that the Hapans had to steal imperial tech to build there gravity well generator counterpart. User:Warlord
The main Sith Interdictor class article does not mention an "interdictor field." It just say it had a powerful tractor beam! In the game does an interdictor class ship actually pull people out of hyperspace? If not, the interdictor is just a class of ship. Even if it does, maybe it just uses a modified tractor beam, and does not actually produce a mass shadow like the Empires/Vagaari devices. I may make some changes to the related articles (since I am creating a Vagaari ship net article. But My KotOR knowledge is limited. If I write anything incorrectly, please revert!
